Hi everyone! I am looking for the best repair shop on the west coast - preferably in California/Bay Area.
I have a 1920's Conn sousaphone (pictured) that needs some dent and leak work. This is my main performance horn, and I have unfortunately had some very bad experiences with regular brass repairs people doing shoddy work that later had to be reversed. I am hoping to avoid going through that again.
Any recommendations on who to go to? Who to avoid? I am in San Jose, CA. The closer the better, but honestly for a horn this old I'm willing to fly to a repair shop if I need to.

I've been incredibly happy with Tim's music in Sacramento. I live in Reno and drive over when I need serious repairs done. In talking with my tuba instructor here in Reno who plays with the Reno Phil, Tim's does a lot of the repairs for tuba players all over the bay area
