"I received my piccolo yesterday. The work you did was
unbelievable! I sent you "a piece of wood and a small pile of
metal" and you turned it into a beautiful instrument.
Thank you again for the
unbelievable work. You are truly blessed with amazing talent and
excellent skill.

Every
woodwind repair or restoration will be executed by our master woodwind technician with
over thirty years experience in woodwind repair, restoration and performance. The
repad of a
woodwind at the Musical Instrument Repair Shop includes the complete
disassembly of all keywork from the body of the instrument followed by a thorough cleaning of all keys, rods, pivot screws, springs, tone holes,
body surfaces and the entire bore. All new pads are then installed
using only premium quality pads which are then centered in key cups and aligned
and leveled over tone
holes in the final assembly. The keywork is carefully lubricated and the pad seating
process is done. Once the seating process is complete the instrument
is play tested. After 48 hours the pad seat retention is checked and
a final play test is performed prior to shipping to you, our customer. |

Overhaul
|
The mechanical overhaul of a woodwind at the Musical
Instrument Repair Shop includes the complete disassembly of all keywork from the body of the
instrument and a thorough cleaning of all keys,
rods, pivot screws, springs, tone holes, body surfaces and entire
bore. All keywork pivot points are tightened by hand
burnishing methods which restores the action to a like new performance
level. All tone holes are
checked and correctly leveled where necessary. All new premium
quality pads, all corks, felts, and necessary springs are installed. Then the instrument is
reassembled, all pads are aligned and leveled over the tone holes, keywork is
carefully lubricated and the pad seating process is done. Once the seating
process is completed the instrument is completely regulated and thoroughly play
tested. After 48 hours the pad seat retention is checked and a final
play test is performed prior to shipping. |

For some time now there have been brand new professional brass
instruments produced by the manufacturer and offered in “raw brass”
finishes. These instruments are sold in their shiny new appearance and
then, over time, oxidize to become the dull finish horns we occasionally see.
There are some considerations that should be made before selecting the
“raw brass” finish.
When restoring brass instruments, the lacquer, silver-plating, black
nickel plating or gold plating is applied not only for their beautiful
appearances but these coatings act as protections against wear. If the
instrument is left in "raw brass" one needs to keep in mind that the
elements as well as the acid from the player's own hands will attack the
instrument and greatly decrease the life expectancy of your brass instrument.
Also, the residue from this oxidation process can be absorbed into
the players system and may not be very healthy at all. Some players
have discovered that they are actually allergic to this brass oxidation
residue.
The Musical Instrument Repair Shop
does, on the occasion of a customer’s request, leave a brasswind restoration
in the “raw brass” finish, but
only after having advised of the negative effects.
The Bach
Stradivarius Company used to state on their web site that Bach instruments are
not available in raw brass due to the possibility of hazardous brass poisoning.
