This presentation shows you exactly what we do on every standard saxophone service or re-pad. There are other specialist repairs we can perform such as dent removal, re-soldering broken parts, customising key-work, silver plating or gold plating key-work, and re-facing mouthpieces. Having this done every year ensures that you are getting the best out of your saxophone. Here we check your saxophone fully but without dismantling the instrument. We also do our best to accommodate any emergency repairs as we understand how important it is to have your saxophone working at its best should you have an upcoming performance or exam.
Our on the spot service is intended for quick adjustments and minor repairs which can take up to 30 minutes. If you have a minor problem with your saxophone we have a team of repairers available to perform saxophone repairs whilst you wait.
