Repair FAQ’s
Is my instrument worth repairing? /Should I repair or replace my instrument?
Most name brand instruments are worth having repaired. Instruments that are properly repaired and serviced can last for many years.
Do I really need my brass instrument cleaned? It doesn’t look that dirty.
Though the exterior of your instrument may not seem dirty, grease and dirt build up on the interior of your instrument. This build up causes valves and slides to become sticky or sluggish.
Build up can even cause your mouthpiece to become stuck.
How often should I bring my instrument in for repair – do instruments need a regular tune up?
Yes, instruments do need regular servicing just like your car. We suggest you bring your instrument to us, twice a year to be checked over. At that time we will check the instrument and if repairs are necessary we will give you an estimate on cost and time in the shop
