Repairs & Service

Specializing in trumpets, cornets and trombones. Most repairs done the same afternoon.

What I work on

Trumpets, cornets and trombones.


Most repairs are done in one to two hours. Drop your horn off on the way into town, grab lunch, and it'll be ready when you get back. I see a lot of players who've driven a ways to get here — I try to make the trip worth it.

I do full bench work on trumpets, cornets and trombones. For larger brass — French horn, baritone, euphonium, sousaphone, tuba — I can help with cleanings, soldering and minor repairs.
