Replacing worn-out timpani
can be a rather costly endeavor. Refurbishing these old
Ludwig Ringers, however, proved to be a very
cost-effective alternative. All four drums were completely disassembled,
cleaned and buffed, powder-coated (framework),
re-assembled with new EVANS Strata™
heads, and then tuned and adjusted for action. These pro
line kettles are once again in top shape.
We've posted a series of
before and after pics of this
timpani restoration
project performed in our shop. Enjoy! |

Recent Repairs |
This photo collage of recently completed repairs is a
broader sampling of the most typical instrument brands and
models we cycle through the repair shop in any given week.
Whether you simply have a "one key" issue (e.g.- spring, pad,
felt, cork, post, etc.), or you have larger adjustment related
issues (e.g. - tenon / receiver, stack, play, key height, etc.)
with your woodwind, we'll get you back in service quickly and
inexpensively. By the same token, our brasswind services span
the complete gamut -- from waterkey corks, felts, guides and
spring replacements, to professional dentwork, valve / rotor
lapping and alignment, chem bath treatment, and custom soldering.
Whatever your repair needs, we can get the job done!
