Repair

Del is a graduate of Western Iowa Tech’s Band Instrument Repair program, class of 1974.   He is a charter member of NAPBIRT (The National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians), and attends all of their national and regional clinics that his schedule allows.

Besides PC (“play condition”) work on all woodwind, brass and percussion band instruments, our shop also offers full repads on flutes, clarinets, and saxes, plus chemical “flushouts” on all brasses. Even though we don’t do complete overhauls on brass instruments in our shop, we do work with other shops that perform those projects, and will be happy to “job out” those repairs.
