Repair persons in Colorado ?

[Rick Oakes]

Are there any recommendations? I need to add water keys and the usual cleaning/adjustment services. Though I live in Western Colorado I expect to drive to the Eastern Slope. Thank you.--Rick Oakes

I use a repairman in Fort Collins. He has done a lot of things like straightening valve casings for my students but I'm not sure of the level of his experience, I have used him for a few years now and have no complaints. You could give him a call (970)493-2806, the shop is called "The Repair Shop" He wil at least be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck.

I use Bill Ford at Flesher-Hinton Music on Tennyson in Denver. He gets my horns for cleaning and adjustment once a year or so. If you set up an appointment for your work and you are from out of town you may be able to get your horn back with same day service. A tip never hurts when you are trying to do this and helps when you want to do it on a repeat basis. I am driving from Montana to Denver Sun and he will get my horn first thing Monday for some work and I will probably have it out by noon. He's a great craftsman, the horn always sounds and plays better when he's done with it. E-mail me if you can't find the number. Phil

I've used both Flesher Hinton in Denver and the Repair Shop in Ft Collins (when I used to live in CO) and both are just fine.

While you are in town stop by Kolacny Music on Broadway, they sometimes have a selection of interesting used tubas on hand.
