After my Alexander F tuba was damaged, I was forced to send it somewhere to have a large dent removed from the leadpipe. I was worried about the horn not comming back the same as before the leadpipe was dented. I must say that I was horrified at the thought of losing my Alex.
Many thanks goes out to Wayne, and Ken from the Brass Bow. They did an Excellent job of not only getting the horn in quickly but also doing some top notch repair work on a vintage Tuba. The only thing is the horn didn't come back the same at all. IT IS MUCH BETTER! The intonation is a little better in the low register. More specificly on the biggest problem note, my Db or C#.
Any how, I just wanted to say that if you need some work done on your horn, give these guys a call. You can also check there web site out under the links section.
