Repairs

Yes, we offer repair or restoration of your instrument. We use the following repair technicians.  We can arrange the repair for you, or you can go direct:

Brad Close - Brad has recently emerged on the Southern California brass instrument repair scene, and has become fairly busy in short order.  His shop in LA Canada is very close to our La Crescenta store, and he can generally turn around smaller repairs in 1-2 days.  His specialty is trombone slides, and his work is excellent.  He does slide work as well as anyone in the business.  He also offers chemical cleaning, dent and soldering work, and most any small to medium job not requiring complete relacquer work.  He can also arrange complete restoration of your horn through his vendors.  You can contact him directly, or drop off repairs in our office for pickup within one day.  Contact Brad Close: 818.427.0766, info (at) brassmedic.com.  His shop hours are by appointment only.  You can visit his website at:  http://www.brassmedic.com

Robb Stewart - Robb is arguably one of the best brass repair technicians in the world, and we're lucky to have access to his services.  He can be expensive, and large jobs do take some time, but the results are worth it.  The pictures above are from his website.  We use him for large dents on newer instruments where there can be no scarring.  He does not disappoint. His shop is in Arcadia. He prefers not to work on trombone slides, but does excellent work when encouraged.  http://www.robbstewart.com 626.447.1904  Hours are 730-500 M-F, but please call ahead.

John Sandhagen - John is an opinionated, brilliant, eloquently spoken madman, and also a fine trombonist.  His specialty is trombone slide repair, and he is one of the best. His shop is in Claremont.  909.626.2796.  Hours are by appointment only.

Kanstul Musical Instruments - Kanstul doesn't advertise their repair prowess, but their restoration and relacquer work is excellent at a very reasonable cost.  They also offer silver and gold plating, and some custom work.  Most jobs can be finished in 1-2 weeks.  Kanstul is located in Anaheim. sales@kanstul.com  714.563.1000
