Good Playing Condition repairs involve repairing any necessary deficiencies to put the instrument in proper working order. This includes pad replacement, tenon cork replacements, adjusting and the regulating of all key functions. These repairs are billed on an individual basis. All instruments are play tested and guaranteed to work properly.
Overhauls involve complete disassembly of the instrument, removal of dents, repair of any structural damage, replacement of any necessary springs, replacement of pads with professional grade pads and replacement of key corks. Then reassemble, adjust and play test.

Stripping is available for silver horns that are to be lacquered; however, due to the variations of the instrument and the work to be done, please contact us for stripping estimates.
