Most new saxophones and clarinets require a professional setup before they are truly "ready to play"? Instruments often sit in warehouses or are bumped during shipping, causing minor leaks and mechanical shifts.

1. What’s included in this session:

Complete Leak Check: I’ll ensure every pad is sealing perfectly from top to bottom.
Action Adjustment: Optimising spring tension and key heights for a comfortable, fluid feel.
Mechanical Review: Ensuring all rods, screws, and pivot points are oiled and secure.
Play Test: A thorough test to ensure the instrument responds effortlessly across all registers.

2. The Appointment (15-20 Mins):

This slot is for a quick hands-on assessment. We will discuss the issues you're facing and I will provide an estimated cost and completion date.
Standard Turnaround: 3-5 business days depending on the size of the job
Expert Turnaround: For Overhauls/Dent work and other advanced work this will be longer

3. Location & Parking:

I am located 22a Vigor Brown Street, Napier
We are the first house down the driveway - but please park on the road, there is lots of on-street parking
