Repair Shop in Dallas area

Post by TUbajohn20J »

Got a buddy in Mesquite/Dallas TX area who needs his "new" 25J cleaned, polished, and reachable/major dents taken out. Can anyone point me to a thread or just name some good repair shops? Thanks

It has some pretty major dents on the back side and in the lead pipe. And some little dings throughout the whole horn and on the bell. But it's a great playing horn. I love big conns too!

Personally, I use the rivard brothers in Arlington for major projects

DFW is blessed with great repair places, including Houghton horns in Keller, Eric Edwards in Lewisville, and Eric Swanson in Hurst.

The Symphonie F I recently acquired had an extensive overhaul done by a previous owner at Houghton Horns about 12 years ago....VERY IMPRESSIVE workmanship!!!
