PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION HIGHEST QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP LET YOUR HORN PLAY AND LOOK ITS BEST ! BRIGHT LACQUER OR SATIN SAND FINISH OR SATIN SAND WITH BRIGHT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDES MOUTHPIECE SILVER OR GOLD  PLATING   This is an offer to completely overhaul (restore) your trumpet (ANY BRAND). The overhaul includes the following: I chemically clean the instrument - inside and out. This removes all the old build-up inside. I remove all the dents. I gently buff the entire instrument for the highest "luster" while maintaining the acoustical and structural quality of the metal. I use only the highest quality, instrument grade lacquer in the refinishing process to retain and protect the highly polished metal. I lap in and align the valves to the valve ports for best tonal response.   I have a master of music degree, and 33 years experience as a professional instrument repair technician.  I know what the serious player expects from his instrument's performance. I take great pride in my work, and enjoy giving someone a beautiful instrument that looks great, and plays great. I take just as much care refinishing a student instrument as I do a professional instrument. The price listed is for a complete instrument. Any missing parts that are currently available, I can make, or I have in stock, will be an additional cost. I also silverplate instruments. If you want your lacquered brass instrument changed to a silver- plate finish, or the finish on your silver-plated instrument requires a complete replating - the price will be $550. If your silver-plated instrument only needs spot plating on the normal wear areas, the price will be $450 as I can spot plate those areas to blend in beautifully with the rest of the finish.   If you want your instrument completely re-silverplated, or changed from lacquer to silver, use the buy it now option, but wait to pay until I send you a revised invoice with the $100 added. Then you can pay with Paypal when you receive the revised invoice, or mail a money order with your instrument. I offer an option of 24 karat gold highlights - to include the inside of the bell, top and bottom valve caps, and slides. This detail work is usually $150, but if you purchase the overhaul, it will be added for only $50. You can have some or all of the parts goldplated - your choice.  I offer the satin (sand) finish with bright highlights (with or without lacquer). The price is the same.  Please put a note inside the case (or box)  giving your name, information about your instrument - brand, model, serial number, your address, phone number, email address, ebay name, and the finish you desire - bright lacquer, silver, satin sand finish with bright lacquer highlights, or call me and I'll discuss a variation you want. Also tell me if you want the mouthpiece silver or gold plated. I'll be glad to discuss custom work, or answer any questions you may have. Feel free to call 850-224-9909, or direct email    thebrassmaster@earthlink.net                                                                                                                  Thank you !                                                                                                                 David & Myra Williams Be sure to add me to your favorites list!Check out my other items!
