Good maintenance is essential to the performance of any musical instrument, particularly woodwinds. Even after meticulously selecting the right instrument and having it set-up, the slightest issue can wreak havoc on the playing experience, from tone hole seals to key alignment. Talented technicians can also dial in an instrument to meet the particular needs of a player, regulating and customizing micro details like spring tensions, key heights, tone hole undercutting, etc.
Because of how critical we view a technician’s work to be to the playing experience, we partner with a number of extremely talented craftspeople from around the country to set up most of our instruments on purchase. We will also make curated recommendations for any client looking for maintenance over the lifespan of an instrument. As such, we do not handle repairs and set-up work in house.
