Half way through restoring this EJ Albert clarinet c. 1867.

Clarinet keywork on the Selmer Basset horn I restored this week. Second time lucky as I tried to post this earlier and it disappeared.....

Keywork refinishing and silver plating.

I've just finished a full restoration of this Selmer Basset horn. It was a big job as it arrived with damaged keywork and needing a full re-pad. The owner wanted it back within a week as she intends to use it for a mid March concert. Some before and after pics will follow.

Today it was a great pleasure to have Matheson Bayley in the workshop. Here we are holding each other's babies.

Buffet BC20 with additional ring for Left hand 3. Overhaul in progress...

I am open for business again following a couple of weeks off. Photo taken by a customer today.

Although I am having a break due to the birth of my daughter Ella, I couldn't say no when I was asked to do a bit of work on this Herbert Wurlitzer Bb! Now this is done, I'm closed again!

I will be closed for a couple of weeks from today 11th September. I will update soon.

French bore Luis Rossi pair in for a service. V. Nice.

I gave David a Buffett e11 that had a crack and needed General touching up. He did a great job. Thanks alot.

Excellent work on my bass clarinet. Highly recommended.

Excellent clarinet service. Dave does only what's needed, is very quick and charges a reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend.
