I
made this clarinet at Newark
College over 25 years ago!
All
repair work is
discussed with
the customer,
agreeing
prices and
timescale
before
commencement.
Emergency
repairs can
usually be
fitted in, I
do my best to
help. Tuning
work and small
jobs i.e.
re-corking
joints,
soldering,
adding thumb
rests,
straightening
bent key work
and dent
removal etc.
are priced as
seen (I can
give an
estimate over
the phone).
Min repair
charge is
£12.00. I
always use
good quality
pads and
materials, but
special
materials can
be arranged on
request.
Min
Service
The
aim is to keep
the instrument
in good
working order
for the
minimum cost.
Only replacing
pads, cork,
felts and
springs as
necessary. The
instrument is
oiled but not
cleaned.
Recommended
every 12 to 18
months.
Full
Service
Where
an instrument
needs a
complete strip
down and a
larger amount
of work to
bring back to
good
condition. But
does not need
all pads
replacing. The
instrument is
cleaned and
oiled.
Recommended
every 2 to 3
years.
Repad
The
same as a full
service but
with all the
pads replaced.
Recommended
when pads are
at the end of
their life.
Complete
Overhaul
This
is the same as
a full repad
but where
there is extra
work needed to
keywork,
mechanism etc.
(Common on
older
instruments).
Work needed is
discussed/
agreed with
customer.

Educational
Offer
For
a fixed sum of
£100.00 I will
come to the
school at a
mutually
convenient
time and check
over all your
woodwind
instruments.
This includes
two hours of
my time and
any running
repairs I can
do in that
time. I will
give you an

any repair
work needed
and I can take
instruments
away then or a
future date
can be
arranged. This
work will be
done in my
workshop.
Instruments
can be
supplied VAT
free to Local
