Woodwind Pro Service (COA)

This is a proper and complete maintenance service for a woodwind instrument. If your instrument is in decent condition this will help maintain it, so that it can maintain a higher level of play-ability for longer.

We completely disassemble your instrument to clean the body and remove old black abrasive oil from all mechanisms and keys. For a more comprehensive aesthetic polish please select the Mechanism Polish as an additional service.

Springs are checked, adjusted and replaced as needed. Pads, corks and felts are examined and replaced as needed for accuracy and reliability.

All mechanisms and related parts are oiled and carefully adjusted to defined specifications. Key-to-key adjustments, such as loss of motion and venting are reset for best performance.

For the best longevity of your instrument we recommend a service every 2000 hrs of playing. A pro service amortized over 36 months is only $14.64 per month That's less than a standard Netflix plan. Or splitting the cost over 2000 hours is only 13 cents per hour of play.

We do include polishing as part of the service, but for a more comprehensive polish please select the Mechanism Polish as an additional service.

If your instrument hasn't had repair in 10-20 years it may be time for it to be rebuilt. in that case we may not be able to bring it into peak condition. Horrible damage will be an addition cost, to be quoted at consultation.
