Repairs & Servicing

Bring your bassoon to the biggest team of in-house repair specialists in the UK!

Our workshop is prized the world over for its expertise and high-quality work. We have three experienced technicians purely dedicated to the bassoon. Three members of our company are also skilled bassoon players, and so we will understand your requirements from a player’s perspective.

All makes of bassoon are treated with respect and passion – from student level to professional instruments. We leave no stone unturned in ensuring all bassoons perform at their best.

Our work includes: re-pads and overhauls to the industry’s very highest standard, crook repair, keywork repair and upgrades, tenon repair, varnish repair, and lots more! 

How it works:

• We will work with you to understand the scope of the work you require
• We will give you an indication of cost and how long the work might take (working to deadlines if required)
• Then, bring or send your instrument to us. You can order custom packaging to keep it safe if you require it, and we have guidance on shipping and packing
• Once here, your instrument will be assessed in our workshop. We will give you an itemised list of recommended work and a price, and then agree a plan of action with you.

If you would like to bring or send your instrument to us for servicing work, please fill out this short form and send it back to us in advance of travelling/shipping.
