Woodwind, Brass & Violin Repairs
Woodwind instruments are designed with complex and delicate key mechanisms. A key, used at the top of the instrument could control a lever, or key at the bottom of the instrument. Additionally, there may be a key is designed to cover two tone holes at the same time. This means everything must work in sync in order for the instrument to play properly. If a pad does not cover, or seat, a tone hole correctly, air will leak from this area, preventing the instrument from working correctly. The repair technician uses a special light that is inserted inside the instrument to evaluate what might be causing the problem. There could be many potential problems, including a bent key or lever that is not covering a tone hole correctly or a torn pad, causing air to leak around the pad, preventing a proper seal. Depending on the condition of your instrument, repair options are as followed. |
