Yamaha Baritone Saxophone - marching band casualty

Yamaha Baritone Saxophone after a few hours with Jerry

 Flutes arrive in our repair department in various conditions.  This one has had a hard life.    

We were able to give this Gemeinhardt it a new lease on life.

This baritone bell has been severely mistreated.  Fortunately, Erick and Eric were able to give it some TLC and it is ready to help a young musician learn to play.

 Our skilled staff can also fabricate replacement parts for all types of instruments.  Jerry is a master craftsman for guitar parts as well as the saxophones and other woodwinds.  Here is a great example of his handiwork.

 We recently had a french horn in the repair department that had been dropped on the bell tube.  Erick was able to open the tube and return the instrument to good playing condition.

The ambulance was called at the end of a Wednesday marching rehearsal to transport this contra.  

After our technician evaluated the damage on Thursday morning, he was able to remove the damaged bell and remove the majority of the dents and folds.  With several hours of work the instrument was reassembled and returned to the school for Thursday afternoon's rehearsal.
