Before and After: a humpback trombone bell! Lots of geometry issues with this one. Straightened out the bell. Removed the valve section to replace the broken and missing braces. Fixed the last technician's poor geometry dealing with the tuning slide. Removed the hand slide end crook to remove the dents that also affected the hand slide tube geometry. It also had a thorough cleaning. I love how Weight's Copper polish evens out the finish!

Sometimes in manufacturing there are problems that are hard to see. I can't say for sure this will make the tuba play better. But, the worker that assembled this slide at the factory added just a tad too much solder. All fixed now!

Before and After: a Jupiter alto flute in for a COA. It's only a few years old and the owner didn't think it needed much. I hope she can tell just how hard she was working after the repairs. The leaks slowly creep in and as a player you intuitively just add a bit more finger pressure to make it play. Often, without thinking about it. If you think you might be working too hard to make your instrument play, you probably are. Contact your favorite repair person and get on their schedule. We work hard to play our instrument, we shouldn't have to work harder because of our instrument.

Before and After: a Muramatsu that's getting back into playing condition with a COA. After years of not being played, the owner is picking it back up! I replaced a couple of ripped pads and some minor dent work that I forgot to get pictures of. I hope it brings the owner joy to start playing again!

Before and After: this was a new Gemeinhardt model to me. Couldn't really find much info online other than it's an older model. A KGM Limited with a solid gold lip plate and riser and engraving. A good COA got it back in its best playing condition.

Before and After: an older Yamaha flute came in with a bad dent in the body and G # tonehole. Took some time to get the dent out and repair/resurface the G # tonehole, but I think it turned out well. All ready for the start of school!

A look into my repair estimation process for you flutists out there. Upon initial inspection, this G # pad looked good. That dark spot is what happens when you have a slightly dirty pad that gets cleaned. The dirt soaks into the felt showing me where a pinhole leak is. This particular pinhole is right on the area that seals against the tonehole. Had I repaired it without replacing this pad, the flute would not play very well. So, part of my estimation process is to remove all the keys and clean the pads to show me if there are any ripped pads. It takes more time, but saves me time during the repair and allows me to provide an accurate estimate.

Before and After: this is the second Conn 56J in the shop this summer for a cleaning and some dent work. I've always felt this is an underrated tuba. I think it cleaned up well!
