About
This started out of necessity for our hobby. I had been using a musical instrument shop in NJ for my repairs when the owner/craftsman came to me and said he could not continue anymore because of the time it truely takes and his requirement to charge shop rate to cover his costs. I understood, however I knew there are alot of "common" horns to be saved.
Subsequently I invested in thousands of dollars of band instrument dent removal equipment. l only service phonograph horns. I do not do band instruments! It may not the best financial investment I ever made, but it keeps me busy and I "love" saving horns for another 100 years!
There are also some practical length limitations as there are no band instruments as long as some of the longest phonograph horns. The current limitation is approximatly 34" long that is using optional extenders from the band equipment tool side. The maximum diameter is 24" at the bell. Please call with inqueries regarding any specific horn you may have questions or need a quote for.
I am keenly interested in purchasing loose horns (horns without a machine) so that I may save them and bring them back to market. Dented/bent horns will all be considered.
As a collector at heart, I will occasionally have postings in the other catagories of Accessories and or Machines.
I attend various phonograph shows and auctions during the year so we can arrange pick up and drop offs there. I try to be flexible and timely with the service.
