Playing Condition
Starting at $40
A Playing Condition Repair is perfect for woodwind instruments that need a little extra care to perform their best. This service addresses common issues that can affect response, tone, and playability without requiring a full overhaul. Our expert technicians will inspect your instrument, making precise adjustments to ensure smooth key action, proper pad sealing, and airtight connections. This typically includes minor pad and cork replacements, spring tension adjustments, leak detection, and thorough cleaning. Whether your instrument has developed small leaks, sticky keys, or sluggish response, a Playing Condition Repair will restore its functionality and get you back to playing with confidence.
Repad/Major Service
Starting at $150
A Repad or Major Service Repair is a great option for instruments that need more than just minor adjustments but don’t require a full overhaul. This service includes replacing all pads, corks, and felts to restore proper sealing and playability. Keys are adjusted and regulated for smooth action, and the instrument is cleaned and lubricated for better performance. A repad is ideal for instruments with worn-out pads, small leaks, or sluggish response, giving them a fresh feel and improved sound.
Mechanical Overhaul
Starting at $350
A Full Mechanical Overhaul is the most in-depth restoration service for woodwind instruments, addressing every aspect of its mechanics and structure. Unlike a repad, which primarily focuses on pad and cork replacement, a full overhaul involves completely disassembling the instrument, meticulously cleaning and polishing all parts, and refitting or fabricating key components to eliminate excessive wear. Key rods and pivot screws are checked for wear and refitted to remove excess play, ensuring precise key movement. Tone holes are leveled for a perfect pad seal, and all new pads, corks, and felts are installed with the highest level of precision. Springs are adjusted or replaced to restore proper tension and response. After final adjustments and regulation, your instrument will feel, sound, and play like new—if not better. A full mechanical overhaul is ideal for instruments that have seen decades of use, suffer from mechanical instability, or need a complete refresh for peak performance.
