Repair shop in Manhattan?

Hi everyone,
I have a few basic repairs to be done to my tuba, and I might want to get it taken care of locally in Manhattan (sorry, can't make the trip to Dillon's).
A few things on the list, but nothing major:
-- chem clean
-- free up a few frozen slides
-- roll out the bell
-- maybe replace a water key
-- new felts/cork/pads
Any recommendations?

Just thinking that it's a lot easier getting to Dillons than it is fighting traffic in NYC! And there, you'll know your horn is getting the very best care anywhere. JMHO

I used to go to Terry Pierce around the corner from MSM. He was able to do most things while I waited. Don't know about chem clean, but he can do everything else you're looking for.

Do you mean Terry Pierce? He's excellent.

Brass Lab, brilliant! I totally couldn't remember the name of the place. Cool...I'll get some pictures up on the board as soon as I get it all fixed up.
Thanks, y'all!

Oops, had something else on the mind
