Ha. That's nothing compared to the Houston area in which the only repair shops are a couple of music and arts stores, where "repair" is taking in all the schools instruments in and repadding clarinets and "cleaning" the sousaphones (which to my level of experience in seeing these horns come back I don't really see what they cleaned and could never tell the difference if they even did). So when it comes a varitable wasteland for instrument repair I'd say Houston ranks up in the upper echelon of lack.

A shop I worked at uses a tuba-sized ultrasonic cleaning machine as a table for brushes and lava soap right next to the sink. Needless to say we were unimpressed with it and went back to the tried and true.

It does make a nice table. Good height. Has wheels. Shiny too.
