Nick Smith Woodwind And Brass Repairs

Of all the bizarre instruments/objects I have repaired over the last 27 years in the business this one is top of the list - Enjoy!!

An ideal time to get your instrument serviced is whilst you are on holiday. So give me a ring to book yours in.

I have just overhauled an Alto Sax with new pads etc. It is the sought after Conn "Lady Face" ( sometimes referred to as "Naked Lady") These can sell for well over £1000 but unfortunately it has no case so the price is a very reasonable £599 !!!

Nick Smith Woodwind and Brass Repairs I also have a Boosey & Hawkes Regent clarinet - fully re-padded and guaranteed for 6 months. This is one of the last Regents made before the model designation was changed to B12 . Price is £125

Clear, or rather dirty evidence that your brass instrument should be cleaned out every 6 months NOT every 6 years!

30 year old Rudall Carte flute given a new lease of life with new pads etc. Good for another 30 years!?

Cornet bell straightened. Forgot to take a "before" pic. You'll just have to imagine how bad it was !!!

Nice 90 year old Alto Sax fully refurbished (re-plated & re-padded)

Trombone waterkey ( before and after ) This first pic is the customer's repair !!!! They used bent wire, a rubber band and sealing wax - and still it leaked. The second pic shows restoration.

Is it a sax or is it a banana ?!!
