playing condition
The basic work. We level pads, adjust corks and articulations, align key work, oil, and play test.

The deluxe work. We do everything for the playing condition, plus a full disassemble and hand-polish for keys as necessary.
overhaul
The super deluxe work. Replacement of all materials and pads plus a full playing condition and cleaning. Basically, we’ll get the instrument as close to “brand new” as possible!
tenon work
If the pieces don’t fit, how are we supposed to make music? Let us make those delicate and specific adjustments for you!
cork replacement
Cork is a natural material and wears over time. Tenons, keys, neck not working/connecting as they should? Have us check those corks!
various modifications
Let us help the instrument fit you, not the other way around.
