Mechanical Overhaul: Mills Music will make your instrument like new. We will take your instrument apart, clean it, tighten the key work, and replace all necessary corks and springs. Then we replace and seat all pads and adjust out the instrument to "like new" playing condition. Fine-tuning adjustments are free for 90 days after completion of repair. |
Chemical Clean:
At Mills Music, our chemical
clean starts with a careful disassembly of your horn. We will pull
all stuck slides, and assess the valves for a refitting if
necessary. The horn is then chemically cleaned inside and out and
reassembled. Accessible dents are lifted, and the slides and valves
are lubed. |

our repair technicians will assess your instrument and can provide you
with an estimate of the repairs they feel are needed to put your instrument
back into good playing condition. |
