About

I started to do this out of necessity for our hobby. I had been using a musical instrument shop for my repairs when the owner/craftsman came to me and said he could not continue anymore because of the time it truely takes and his requirement to earn shop wages for he and his people. Which I completly understood, but I was bummed out because there are alot of "common" horns to be saved. None of us could make the math work to spend hundreds on a horn that is worth only hundreds.

He agreed to mentor me and I have invested in thousands of dollars of band instrument dent removal equipment. I worked with my Mentor and the manufacturer to specify the "wheel", various attachments and hand tools to service phonograph horns only. I do not do band instruments! Knowingly, it is not a smart financial investment as it will take a very long time to pay off, but it keeps me out of trouble.

The general pricing idea is < 12" diameter is $30, greater than 12" diameter is $50. I reserve the right to call you and discuss the price of any horn that will need "long term care" or been "totaled" in an Ebay shipping accident ( I have had a number of those!).I also have optional buffing capabilities which we can discuss (typically $10 <12", $20 > 12" for black and brass horns). There are also some practical length limitations as there are no band instruments as long as some of the longest phonograph horns. My current limitation is 34" long and that is using extenders on the band equipment tool side. I am looking to incease that some day by ordering a custom piece.

As mentioned I attend the Wayne Show each spring and fall, so we can arrange pick up and drop offs there. Or drop offs at Wayne and I can ship to you if its feasible.Or ship in and pick up in Wayne. I am flexible.
