At Cheshire Woodwind we believe that there are many musicians young and old alike, who need a quality hands on approach to woodwind repair and maintenance. And who better than a musician with over 20 years experience who knows the instruments inside out…
What we do
Three ways to bring an instrument back to life.
Repairs
Mechanical repairs that play like new.
Sticky pads, bent keys, misaligned rods and worn corks. We diagnose the whole instrument and bring the action back to factory-fresh feel - every pad sealing, every spring tensioned just so.
Maintenance
Seasonal maintenance & overhauls
A pad change, a clean-oil-adjust, or a full mechanical overhaul. Woodwind instruments live and breath with the weather - regular care keeps them responsive, in tune, and a pleasure to play.
Restoration
Restoring instruments with a past.
Vintage saxophones, family heirlooms, instruments pulled from an attic after decades. Preserving the character and tone that only age can give.
