Where to get engraving done?

Post by Z-Tuba Dude »

Howdy!

I have a bottom rotary valve cap for an old Alex tuba that needs to be engraved to match the others caps.

Any ideas where to get that kind of work done?

In my work ,I have used engraving on several occasions for engineering jobs.
Of course, you have your local jewellery specialist who may be your first port of call.
Otherwise I'd do an internet search.
Engraving can be a hardened tool chiselling your detail.
I would avoid the vibrating tool types of, so called, engraving.
We always headed towards lazer (non-contact) engraving for its clean lines and fine detail.
Hope you find someone.
