I am no longer with the White House of Music and will be doing all of my repairs in my remodeled shop in my home. I will be doing all manners of repairs and maintenance including cleaning, soldering, dent repair and customization. All horns are  cleaned ultrasonically.
 

 

Ultrasonic Cleaning                                                    $ 105.00

Complete disassembly, removal of calcium

and copper sulfate deposits. Oil and fit rotors

and bearings, fit new neoprene and align

rotors. Adjust and restring levers. Grease and

refit slides. Check over and play test.

 

Valve Rebuilds                                     $850.00     

 Rotors are copper plated and lapped and fit to the 

valve casing. Once the rotors are fit and the casings

have been trued, the rotors are nickel plated and a 

final lapping and fit are performed. Side play has been

removed from the long spindle/bearing and end play is

removed from the top bearing and the bearing plate

is reseated. The horn is then given the ultrasonic 

cleaning,and and reassembled.


Screw Bell Conversions

Horn is disassembled and bell assembly is removed.At                       $575.00     

this point the lacquer can be stripped at no additional 

charge. I use an immersible strip that the factories

use and minimal labor is needed to strip the lacquer.

Ring is soldered in place and bell is cut. Female ring

is soldered and fit onto the bell stem and the bell assembly

is soldered into place. At this time the braces are placed

in a way that allows the bell to resonate and respond

optimally. Prior to this the body of the horn is checked over

for stress points and relieved. The horn is then ultrasonically

cleaned and reassembled.


Resonance Rehabilitation

The horn is dismantled and all gaps, stress points and major               $750.00                  

dents are repaired. Lacquer is stripped, parts are remounted

and the horn is ultrasonically cleaned and reassembled.The resonance

and response is greatly improved. This is especially effective on

older horns that have had a lot of repairs done to it over the years.
