Extraordinary maintenance

Sometimes it is necessary to carry out extraordinary operations in order to return to having a certain reliability and durability of the instruments. This is sometimes necessary due to lack of regularity in ordinary maintenance, and other times due to an intense use of the instrument, which wears out the parts more easily.
At the time of the appraisal, the most obvious anomalies can be found, but sometimes it is realized during the intervention that the condition of reliability cannot be recovered except with extraordinary work.
It may also happen that you want to discover your instrument with different sound. In this case, it is possible to proceed with the extraordinary replacement of parts, not so much for the need for reliability, but for the search for new, different, particular sounds.

If, during the appraisal, it is highlighted that it is necessary to carry out an intervention considered extraordinary, this will be punctually reported in the estimate. If, on the other hand, the need for extraordinary operations is found during the intervention, it is our practice to contact the owner of the instrument for prior approval.

Even with extraordinary operations, maintenance is carried out during the week.

Complete overhaul


In the event that we are asked to regenerate the instrument, the time is considerably longer. In this case, we hold the instrument for two to four weeks, depending on the type of processing.
The main operations in the regeneration of the instrument are:
 Deoxidation of all parts with cleaning and polishing by hand
 Replacement of all consumable parts (corks, felts, pads)
 Repair of parts wear and tear with locking of the key and main rod clearance
 Reconstruction of the instrument with prolonged testing for several days
 Further verification and fine-tuning included in the costs of the processing can be carried out within 12 months of delivery
Can also be carried out with delivery/collection by your trusted courier
