The Woodwind Repair Shop

 Craig has serviced 4 vintage horns for me so far, and has done a really thorough job. He has a great eye for details and got my 1952 Super Balanced really sounding great. 

James Arben: Professional Jazz Saxophonist & Educator

 Craig started as an apprentice at my workshop in Edgware in 2017. With my assistance, he refurbished oboes, clarinets, flutes and saxophones, acquiring the necessary skills and different repair techniques to meet my demanding quality of workmanship. After my resident saxophone repairer retired through ill health, I asked Craig to repair saxophones coming into my workshop. Over a period of 3 or 4 years he overhauled a wide variety of vintage saxophones (including Conn New Wonder, King, Selmer Super Action and Buffet Dynaction) with wide acclaim from my customers. During this time Craig actively developed his own workshop in Kings Langley. I recommend Craig for all your woodwind repair needs. 

David Fingerhut: Woodwind Repair Specialist (retired)

 I just felt I should write to thank you, Craig, for the excellent work you did on my clarinet. The clarinet suddenly developed squeaks, notes that would not play at all after several hours of playing, to make matters worse the faults were intermittent. Craig spent time assessing the instrument and found numerous issues that were contributing to the problem. I was impressed by the fact Craig updated me as to what he had found and the time it would take to repair/ adjust, as well as the cost of the work. Craig also followed up to check the faults had been successfully resolved. I would highly recommend Craig to any other woodwind players and he will be my ‘GO TO’ for all my clarinets. 

Jackie Barnett: Clarinettist, Pitsone

 Craig carried out a long overdue overhaul of my Boosey & Hawkes Emperor Clarinet and has given it a new lease of life. I'd highly recommend Craig for this kind of technical repair work - he is meticulous and has a passion for his craft! 

Simon Lee: Clarinet & sax player, Berkhamsted

 Craig did an exceptional job repairing my son’s 30-year old inherited saxophone. Time was recently against us due to an impending music exam, but Craig diligently repaired all of the various faults whilst keeping us fully updated on progress throughout. He provided a swift, professional service and the saxophone now plays perfectly - my son passed his exam with flying colours! I would highly recommend Craig’s repair services, he provides excellent value for money and great communications’ 

Nicola Perkins: Parent of saxophone student, London

 Craig recently repaired my Yanagisawa Tenor after I dropped it. He was able to turn it around very quickly and it is now sounding and operating at its best. 

Jez Kaye: Jazz sax enthusiast, Kings Langley

 Craig has provided a very professional service, with great attention to detail and follow up message to check I was happy with the repair of my alto sax. I highly recommend his services.
