I pretty much read everything on their website years back. So many fascinating things that they can do. How many other brass repair shops out there are as well set up as they are? Seems to be a lot of fairly heavy machinery that they use for things like honing, machining, etc.
Yamaha YBB-631S BBb Tuba, B&H Imperial Eb Tuba, Sterling / Perantucci 1065GHS Euphonium
Yamaha YBL-621 RII Bass Trombone and a bunch of other trombones
