Re: Bloke report.
I have been up to Bloke's compound quite a few times. I've had him do a complete valve rebuild on a 100yr old 6/4 Conn, and it turned out beautifully. I'm envious of the guy I traded it to, but I bet he misses his F tuba a lot. . .
Bloke is friggin' awesome. There's always an interesting project in the shop, and the conversation (while he's working) is pretty interesting. Also, Bloke is pretty humble about his playing abilities- he's actually one of the better players I know, and I know a lot of really talented players.
Also, did I mention that he does great work? What I also like about Bloke is that he communicates professionally and is honest. He won't do you wrong. I recommend Bloke to everyone looking for instrument repair, or even for simple advice.
