Repair
I have my own workshop at home in Fleet, Hampshire for servicing and minor repairs on flutes, clarinets and saxophones. I can also carry out more complicated repairs with the professional workshop space I share with Kate Gurl.
Every instrument is different and as such it is very difficult to publish a price list; I will confirm a price with you before undertaking any work. If your instrument has been dropped, damaged or has simply stopped working I am happy to take a look and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
I have 3 levels of service:
Good Working Order/ Minor Service (recommended every 12 months)*
- Check and adjust pad condition, seating and vent heights
- Check and adjust key regulation
- Replace corks and felts as necessary
- *On flutes, check and adjust head cork
- *On clarinets and saxophones, clean mouthpiece
- Clean tenon joints
- Oil mechanism
- Test play
Full Service (recommended every 18-24 months)*
- Fully strip down instrument
- Clean and polish body, keys, key rods and pads
- Check and re-tension springs
- Replace up to 3 pads as necessary
- Carry out “Good Working Order”
Full Re-Pad (as necessary)
- As “Full Service” but with replacement of all pads
*Dependent on how regularly the instrument is played.
