Restorations

I restore flutes and clarinets from vintage to modern - everything from crack repair to pad replacement and key resoldering. This page is dedicated to detailing some of my processes and jobs on particularly interesting instruments. I mostly do work on my own purchases for my own use, and sometimes to resell, but feel free to contact me about a quote for any repair you wish to have done. A gallery of recent work is below.
