Total instrument acclimation in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.

2. Fit and finish inspection

Our professional technicians quality check every brass instrument from mouthpiece to bell

3. Playability check

Techs verify action and basic intonation and play test all notes before a final polish.

We carefully repack and ship your instrument, verifying it is in ready-to-play condition.
