Cleanings are not only necessary for keeping things sanitary, but also essential for the functionality of your horn. Debris and build up can lead to clogs, leaks, and stuck slides/ keys. We recommend a professional cleaning be done at least once a year.

Regulation services ensure the mechanical function of your instrument is at peak performance. Every key is checked for alignment and seals, every valve and slide is checked for the same thing. Broken pads are replaced and new pads are installed and sealed.

Most of us have suffered from a stuck slide or mouthpiece at some point, and it’s important to have them professionally removed. We have the experience and tools necessary to ensure no extra damage is inadvertently done to the instrument during the removal process. When in doubt, bring it in.

Life happens! While some dents and bends are purely cosmetic, some can severely impact the playability of your horn. Bent keys can create leaks, some dents create friction in slides or crimp them shut all together. Bring your instrument back to life by removing those dents and straightening those keys.
