Recommend any repair/mod pros in Pacific NW(adding a valve)

Post by Mcordon1 »

Hey y'all

Do any of you have any trusted repair specialists in the Pacific Northwest?

Was looking for something fairly major to have done, adding a fifth valve to a CC.

Cheers

As a fellow Portlander, I too go to Wally's. They have a couple of good tuba repair people there. Kevin and Robert, both are players as well. Tell them the Clown sent you as well.
