WOODWIND REPAIRS
We service and repair Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophone. We offer several servicing options depending on the amount of work required and the quality or value of the instrument.
Play Condition Service from $120
Our most economical option is suitable for relatively new instruments in good condition and only 1-2 years old. Instruments are disassembled as much as required in order to perform all of the required checks and adjustments. Keywork is adjusted and regulated and mouthpieces are cleaned.
General Service from $220
Disassembly and clean, perform individual key fitting, replacement of key pads and adjustment material where required. This service is the standard service required by most instruments which come into the shop.
Full Overhaul for professional instruments POA
Complete disassembly, chemical clean and key polishing. All pads and adjusting material are replaced, for saxophones it’s a personal touch with your choice of pads and resonators. A full re-pad and overhaul brings the instruments performance and response back to new playing condition, required every 5-10 years for intermediate / professional instruments. This service is not viable for student models as it outweighs the cost of a new instrument.
