Repair Shops in Elkhart Indiana

Post by we3kings »

This is pretty straight forward: are there any good instrumental repair shops near Elkhart, Indiana?

Specifically, I need someone to look at the first valve on a Jupiter 582 BBb tuba. It has suddenly started to stick.

Go see Mark Metzler. He's on the South side of Elkhart off of IN 19 I believe. Check out his web site:

He's the best and I know quite a few upper level folks who travel quite a way to have him work on their horns. He does all my stuff and at a very reasonable price. Plus he's a cool guy to hang out with.

Agreed, having lived in Elkhart for a few years, I can tell you that Mark's work is top notch. Great guy, you will have a lot of fun down there.
