Woodwind Instrument Repair

BrassWindFix offer three main levels of servicing for woodwind instruments: -

​

General Service/Set-up

​

This level of work is designed to keep the instrument in good playing condition. Included is the replacement, where necessary, of pads, key corks/felts and springs. The mechanism is oiled, and to finish the instrument is adjusted and regulated throughout. Please note the instrument is not usually stripped down with this level of service.
