Bassoon repair
To give you an accurate estimate of the repair or service needed, our technicians need to inspect your bassoon. This is free, but requires that we have the instrument at hand. You are always welcome to visit our shop, send us an e-mail (with pictures and a description of the problem) or send us the instrument. Contact us if you need help with the shipping.
