The complete restoration of a brasswind at the Musical Instrument Repair Shop includes the disassembly and stripping of lacquer or plating and all dents removed by hand burnishing.
All slides are refit to an air tight finish.
Horns are reassembled without stress and buffed to a lustrous new appearance. Then a high quality lacquer, silver plate or gold plate finish is applied. All valves, slides, and water keys are reassembled and new corks, felts and springs are installed to assure proper alignment and response of sound. The brasswind instrument is then thoroughly play tested prior to shipping. Gold plating prices are subject to change without notice.
