Testimonials

  • Sent my saxophone in for Mike to fabricate a set of new forks. He did an excellent job matching the look of the forks to the saxophone and it plays like they were factory made. He also fixed a few minor problems that ended up with my saxophone playing 10x better, all for a very reasonable and extremely competitive price.

  • Mike always impresses! He has done a few jobs for me now, and all of them were extremely affordable, done within a reasonable time frame and were high quality repairs/builds. Also, if you need him to do any unconventional jobs, he will get creative and create a solution that will leave you more than happy. I will definitely always come to Mike if I need anything to be built for my instrument, or if I need any small repairs done. Thanks for the great service, Mike!

  • Mike has done quite a few repairs and cosmetic customizations on a number of my brass instruments. For my sousaphone and my euphonium he crafted beautiful wooden key caps out of purpleheart and ebony respectively. I bought a bass trombone that, by all rights, should be unplayable even in mint condition. He made its sticky, poorly crafted valves function as though they belong on a horn of far higher quality. His repair work is always done promptly, professionally, and with great precision while always being a pleasure to interact with. Over all, a fantastic craftsman with whom I highly recommend trusting any brass or woodwind repairs.

  • Mike has done several repairs now for me on my Selmer Alto and Baritone saxophones and has provided excellent service in a timely way. He is extremely knowledgeable and does quality workmanship. The prices were very reasonable as well. I definitely give him my full recommendation.
