Not everyone has a master workshop for brass instruments around the corner. That is why many instruments reach me by parcel. Here are the key points so that your instrument arrives undamaged and the repair goes quickly.
1. Get in touch first
Call or email me before you send the parcel. Then we both know what needs doing, and for dents or damage I can already give you an estimate from photos.
2. Pack it properly
- The instrument goes into its case or a sturdy gig bag.
- Take the mouthpiece out and pack it separately – otherwise it can get jammed in the leadpipe.
- Put the case in a sturdy box and fill the gaps well so nothing can shift.
- For large tubas: extra padding around the bell.
3. What goes in the box
A note with your name, address, phone number and a short description: what should be done, what have you noticed?
4. What happens next
I examine the instrument. Fixed prices apply to the annual service and the valve overhaul. If more work is needed, I contact you first – you only pay for what we have agreed. Then the instrument goes back to you ready to play.
