Quality Band Repair

Repair Prices

I don't have any kind of service minimums on hourly rate. No repair is too big or small and I won't charge you $80 for a 10 second repair where all I did was adjust a screw. (I wouldn't even charge for that to be honest).
All repairs come with a 30 day guarantee, and for schools I have a special extension where that guarantee/warranty extends to the first day of school if work was done over the summer. (So if I finish the work July 1st, the work is still in warranty for the first month of school so kids have a chance to test it out regularly before the guarantee wears out).
I also price match other local repair shops, if any repair I quote would be cheaper at somewhere in the greater Seattle area that's drivable (within reason, we're not talking road trip here) from my shop, I'll match their price and even change the price here to match.

Woodwinds

Professional Cleaning - $140 - Full disassembly, chemically clean body, manually clean and polish keys and body. Regulate pads as needed, replace corks and felts as needed. Clean inside case and play test.
Re-pad - $300 - Replace all pads, replace corks and felts where needed, regulate and play test. Combine with an Professional Cleaning for just $100 more. ($40 savings!)
Replace Single Pad - $15 - I will do my best to match the material and color of the current pads, if I can't get a hold of the exact same pad, I will send pictures of comparisons before any work is done
Minor Find & Fix $25-$35 - something just not working right? I'll same-day track down the issue, and fix it on the spot if it doesn't require parts I don't have in the shop. This includes stuff like bent rods, keys, replacing springs, soldering braces back on, replacing key pearls...etc. Even if I don't have the parts and can't fix it right then and there, the price won't go above $35 it might just take some time to order a part.

Bigger Body repairs - $TBD - If the wood body of a clarinet cracks or has major damage, it is usually worth repairing. Most wooden clarinets (but not all) are of a quality where patching or repairing the wood it worth looking into, but can be pricy and is quoted on a case-by-case basis. No work is done without quoting and consulting you, and I won't ever repair something that doesn't make sense because the value of the instrument is lower than the cost of repairs unless you really want to.
