Other Services 

Ultrasonic Cleaning

One of the many band repair services we provide is a deep cleaning of your brass instrument. The Ultrasonic Cleaner replaces a traditional chemical clean, giving your instrument a better less abrasive clean. It’s the best way to have your brass instrument cleaned. The ultrasonic cleaner uses sound waves that vibrate through a cleaning solution to dissolve deposits and oils that do not belong. There are many benefits to having your instrument deep cleaned with the ultrasonic cleaner such as, it is environmentally friendly, replaces harmful acids and chemicals, prolongs the life of the instrument, thoroughly cleans inside and out and it can clean most sized instruments. Contact us today for a free estimate on what it would be to clean your brass instrument today.

Straubinger Flute Pads

We pride ourselves on being current with new techniques and products in the band repair profession. In May 2016, Lisa Larimore completed a workshop and was certified in using Straubinger Flute Pads. The workshop was taught by the owner of Straubinger Flutes, Mr. Dave Straubinger. These flute pads were designed specifically for hand-made flutes. Because of the materials and techniques used, the Straubinger pad overtime becomes more stable versus the traditional flue pad which becomes unstable and requires more adjustments. The durability and quality of these pads are perfect for handmade flutes and the concert flutist.
