Refinishing Services
We can apply a new and unique finish to your cherished axe. Below are the options we offer. Our philosophy is to preserve the instrument integrity as close to factory specs as possible. We are not heavy handed in removing material to make an instrument "look" new. We believe it is best to leave a few cosmetic blemishes rather than changing the playing characteristics. Final pricing discussed upon our receipt and inspection of the instrument.

Dent Removal / Valve Work
Dent removal, bell straightening, valve function repair and other repairs will be quoted based on the extent of the repair.
Lacquer stripping/removal
This is to remove original lacquer down to the raw brass and required if the original lacquer is not already removed.
Matte Finish Bead Blasting prior to lacquer
We mask off all portions that are to remain polished or brushed and bead-blast where specified.
Two-tone finish
Two-step process for a combination of clear lacquer and gold-tint lacquer. This is typically done to highlight brass with gold tint and keeping clear on the nickel-silver, copper or bronze surfaces.
