Owner, Don Geisbrecht, is professionally trained in the repair of all brass and woodwind instruments and has over 40 years experience. When you bring your instrument in to the Brass and Woodwind Shop, you speak directly to the person who will repair your instrument. Repair estimates are free. We do everything from minor repairs to major overhauls. The Brass and Woodwind Shop has a reputation for doing quality repair work at a reasonable price. Professional instruments are given special attention and professional replacement parts.

All brass and woodwind instruments should be serviced once a year to maintain playability and as preventive maintenance. Brass instruments require cleaning and lubrication to prevent corrosion inside the horn. Woodwind keys require lubrication and adjustment, and pads periodically need to be replaced.
