Repair Services: Overview

• Compression Air Leak Test
Blowing too hard? We test for valve-slide-rotor leakage as well as hidden solder, waterkey or other leaks.

• Professional Instrument Cleaning
Band instruments are collectors of saliva, oil, cream, dirt, grease, sludge, body acids and perspiration.

• Broken Instruments
We're always looking to purchase unserviceable instruments. If you have one to sell or even a classroom full, contact us and let's make a deal.

• Metal Fabrication
Quite often parts no longer exist. When that happens, we make our own.

• Case Repair
Latches, handles, hinges and corner pieces. We stock replacement parts for cases made of wood, aluminum and plastic.

• Custom Welding
Applicable to music stands, drum sets or percussion hardware. Includes precision steel, cast and aluminum welding.

Does your instrument need cleaning?

Professional musicians using our cleaning services report that their instruments play and feel better after cleaning. Teachers also save money by getting "more mileage" out of older instruments.

To clean instruments most effectively, we use state-of-the-art "Ultrasonics". A new technology currently used in hospitals, dental labs and manufacturing centers of high precision assemblies. Our system will clean everything from piccolos to giant tubas and mouthpieces. Read more by visiting our Ultrasonics page.
