First Note Music, also in Ft. Myers, has cleaned my horns in the past and they're very good and reasonably priced. Good luck!

Re: Tuba bell repair in florida
The closest tuba player/repair tech that I know of to Tampa is Bob Tucker in Ocoee (Orlando area), which is a bit closer to Tampa than Ft. Myers, if I remember correctly. I think his business is called Major/minor Projects, LLC. He also happens to play in the Brass Band of Central Florida.
I hope this helps,

Re: Tuba bell repair in florida
I know that I am reviving a few year old post here, but does anyone know if Bob Tucker is still in the Ocoee FL area? Have a 6/4 Martin that the previous owner had fall out of a tuba stand and damaged the recording bell. Also would like to have the valves aligned and a general tuneup.
A google search for his name/business came up with a number that is disconnected. If anyone has a number please PM me.
Thanks!
