Our Services

Saxophone care in our little log cabin workshop

Full Service

Our Full Service is a more comprehensive maintenance package designed for saxophones that require a deeper level of attention.

This service involves a complete strip-down, cleaning, inspection and mechanical adjustment to improve response, reliability and playability.

The service includes:

• Complete dismantling of the instrument

• Thorough internal and external cleaning

• Cleaning and lubrication of key mechanisms

• Full regulation and adjustment of keywork

• Leak checking and correction

• Inspection of pads and replacement where necessary

• Replacement of worn corks and felts where required

• Inspection and adjustment of rods, screws and fittings

• Spring balance and key action adjustments

• Reassembly and play-testing

A Full Service is recommended for instruments showing signs of wear, inconsistent response, sluggish key action or air leaks.

The aim is to return your saxophone to a reliable and enjoyable playing condition while helping extend the life of the instrument.

Basic Service - Clean, Oil , Adjust (C.O.A.)

Our Basic Service is designed to keep your saxophone in reliable playing condition through regular maintenance and adjustment.

It is ideal for routine upkeep, helping maintain good response, comfortable key action and mechanical reliability while identifying smaller issues before they develop into larger repairs.

The service includes:

• External cleaning

• Key mechanism lubrication

• Adjustment of key regulation and mechanism alignment

• Correction of minor leaks

• Inspection of corks and felts, with replacement where required

• Fine adjustments to improve overall playability

This service is generally recommended for relatively new instruments, regularly maintained saxophones, or instruments that have received a full service within the previous 12–18 months.

It is focused on maintenance and adjustment rather than extensive restoration work.

An excellent option for students and advancing players who want to keep their saxophone performing reliably.

Miscellaneous Work

Sometimes your saxophone only needs a specific adjustment or repair rather than a complete service.

Available work includes:

• Leak checking

• Neck cork replacement

• Key regulation adjustments

• Minor repairs and adjustments

• Setup adjustments to improve comfort and response

Every instrument is assessed individually, and recommended work will always be discussed before any repairs are carried out.
