Our Band Instrument Repair technicians are able to service all brass and woodwind instruments, and provide expert and cost effective service to our customers. Everywhere from student model to professional instruments, each one gets the same meticulous, quality work.

Services range from yearly maintenance to full cleanings, dent removal, re-pads, and more. For brass, we offer a wide variety of work including ultrasonic cleanings. Brighton Music Center is the only repair shop in the area to have an ultrasonic tank big enough to fit a tuba! Ultrasonic uses a mix of environmentally safe chemicals, heat, and vibration to provide the best clean possible!

At Brighton Music Center, we are committed to ongoing development and education. Our band repair technicians are proud members of NAPBIRT (National Association of Band Instrument Repair Technicians), enabling them to stay up to date with the latest techniques and innovations in the repair industry. This ensures that our community receives services that reflect the cutting edge of expertise and knowledge in instrument repair.
