Felt and cork and renew

etc...

Repairs

I will take care of your instrument professionally and work on it professionally.

If your instrument is broken, somehow doesn't sound right anymore, it's no fun to play it anymore, bring it to me! Often only small things on the instrument to make it wonderfully playable again!

My service offerings for repairs include:

High-quality repairs and general overhauls of transverse flutes, wooden transverse flutes, saxophones, piccolos, bassoons, oboes, recorders and many other woodwind instruments
Conversions and special designs
Restorations of historical instruments
Sale of high quality used instruments
Sale of accessories for wind instruments

Conversions and special designs

Since we are all individualists in some way, you too may feel the need to have your instrument customized to meet your own personal needs.

Often, such adjustments can even be made with reasonably little effort, e.g.:

Changes to the mechanics
Mouthpiece adjustments (Self-developed solution for saxophone and clarinet)
Holding system ( Self-developed solution for saxophone)
Flap conversions - Extending flap handles
Altering thumb hooks on clarinets or saxophones
Changing flap spacing
Changes in the valve opening pathways
Lateral displacement of the printing supports

Costs

I calculate the costs for the revision of an instrument according to the respective repair expenditure, which I discuss in detail with you.

You are welcome to visit me in my workshop for this purpose, or you can send me your instrument to faithful hands for an appraisal - then we will discuss the details on the phone and I will send you a cost estimate by e-mail.

For a cost estimate I charge you once flat rate only 49.90 EUR incl. return shipping!

Dates

I like to do smaller things immediately and on call.
For more complex work, I will arrange with you a reliable
