| Always good to know about overhaul shops that do a GOOD JOB. Just my opinion (which, when combined with $0.35 will buy you a local phone call just about anywhere in North America), but too often we determine to throw out or "junk" old horns that are entirely "restoreable" (and for which we'll undoubtedly rue our decision at some point later in our lives). I don't suppose there is any chance you might be able to post a picture or two of the work and describe what they did and the price? (at least "the price" within a "bus or breadbox" kind of estimate?)
(I'm equally strong on good repair persons who can pull dents, unfreeze slides, align 3rds, etc and who do so "while you wait" and don't cost an arm and a leg). The true craftsmen, of course, are the guys like Leigh, Wayne Tanabe, and Rich Ita who are the trumpet equivalents of George Barris. (Probably before the time of you young'uns but I remember buying all the customizing mags and dreaming of the day when I would own a "hot rod" of my own!)
By the way...anybody who knows how to post pictures to a website please (PLEASE!) contact me via email or PM! I'm tired of using the websites of others to put pictures up and although I can get text onto my "own" website (in a very crude form of development at present), I'm at a loss as to how to post a picture or photo!. |
