Dan and the gang are the BEST - bar none - in both instrument repair/refinishing and building specialty instruments. Dan's shop does GRADE AAAA work! We had an old Besson compensating euphonium rebuilt. It was more beautiful than a brand new instrument! He did it in brushed silver with bright silver accents. Absolutely STUNNING! And it was a fair price for all the work done. He also built me what we affectionately call a Leftonium. I have limited movement in my right hand due to nerve damage so he and my husband built me a beautiful euphonium that I can play with my left hand controlling the valves. It was STUNNING and I am so proud of it. Want it done right - take it to Dan and his team. There's NONE better - and he will take instruments delivered through USPS, UPS and FedEx too. You don't have to be in Seattle to use his expertise!!
