We can fix that!

Instrument Repair

Clearwater's repair policy is to do the highest level of repairs for an affordable price.  We believe every child should have a well performing instrument to aid in becoming a successful musician.  Professionals need their horn to work great, but most don't make much in this town.  (Support your local musician!)
Cyn has been repairing instruments for more than 35 years.  We also have the most extensive tooling of any shop within 200 miles. Experience plus the right tools for the job!

Level One Repair

We clean the instrument reasonably  without removing the keys.
Using special cleaning pads to get under the keys and small brushes to get the dirt, we then clean the bore with a sanitizing cleaner.
All mouthpieces are thoroughly cleaned.
We then regulate and straighten keys as well as remove minor dents where applicable.
Flutes and surfaces are buffed.
 S
axophone necks and flute tenons are fitted for easy playability.

Woodwind

Level Two Repair

The Instrument is disassembled.
Rods and key shafts are cleaned and oiled.
Wooden parts are  cleaned and oiled.
The body and keys are polished.
Minor dents are removed.
Sax necks and flute tenons are refit for optimal contact playability.

Other Additional Repairs*

  • Pads
  • Corks
  • Tenon corks
  • Soldering
* These services are not included in service Level 1 or 2, and are separate charges.

Brass

Chemical Clean

  • Complete disassembly of instrument
  • Remove dirt and grease
  • Chemically clean and scrub bore
  •  Remove accessible dents 
  • Align valve ports
  • Replace felts and corks
  • Make slide surface smooth for optimal function
  • Oil, lube and test

​Slide Work

​This may include machine polishing the inside of the tubes.  
    Chemically cleaning the hand slide is required and included.

Resonance

Remove tension in the braces by unsoldering them and moving them to where the instrument responds most freely.  This can take an ok horn to be a great horn! We can free the tension of an instrument as well.  This really changes the response, especially in the high and low registers.
