What the fixed price does not include
Both packages are fixed prices for the regular scope of work. Not included are:
- eliminating severe valve play
- for the annual service: fitting and lapping the bearings (included in the valve overhaul)
- lapping worn rotors
- larger dent and soldering work
- seized, corroded parts
- spare parts such as minibal/unibal joints, valve springs, valve guides, levers, finger buttons, spindles and screws
- newly made bearing or valve block parts
If your instrument needs more, we contact you first. Nothing is charged that we have not discussed.
Repairs outside the packages
A dent in the bell, a sticking slide, a broken-off water key, modifications or new lacquer: such work is charged by time. Send us a few photos and a short description and you will get an estimate in advance.
