Hey tubenet,


Anyone know of a decent repair shop in deep south Texas?

Best guy I know is in Hurst, TX - Eric Swanson. But I think Hurst is northerly...

Eric Swanson is fantastic, and yes, he is in Hurst, which is in the DFW mid-cities area.

Thanks for the input and for the couple of PMs.
I actually thought there'd be a nice shop around SanAntonio since it's a metropolitan area.

Hey tubenet,


Anyone know of a decent repair shop in deep south Texas?
I don't need anything major; just a good chem clean and...
I'm thinking of a lacquer strip.
I know the consequences of stripping a horn's lacquer, but I want it stripped for cosmetic reasons;
I'd love the look of a polished raw brass over 20+ years of lacquer wear any day.(even if it means foul smelling hands )
Thanks for the help

what part of deep south texas are looking for? i live at the very tip of south texas and can try to find you a shop around the area if interested.

Right now I'm in the valley; at least untill school starts again.

In San Antonio, go to High School Music on NW Military off of 410. He is VERY good at what he does. That's the only place I take my horn.
