All of our repair work is carried out by Phil Jarvis of Top Brass Repairs, a professional member of the National Association of Musical Instrument Repairers.

As each job is unique to the needs of a particular instrument we don’t really have a set price list. However you can obtain a free consultation and quote on anything that may need attention on your instrument. Be assured that no work will be carried out without your full agreement. As Phil is able to service and repair brass instruments on site it can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to get the job done.
You are more than welcome to bring your instrument into the store during opening hours. We are always happy to see you and can offer all the friendly and helpful advise that you are looking for.
