We offer full Brass repair and services from our experienced full-time staff.

From dent removal, valve and slide maintenance, and professional cleaning our shop prides itself on its professional work.

Magnetic & traditional dent removal

We use the Magnetic Dent Removal System (MDRS) to remove dents from areas that our traditional tools will not reach without un-soldering joints. It is a great addition to our collection of tools, and especially effective on large brass and saxophone bows.

Polishing Raw Brass

We can hand polish (without buffing) raw brass or raw nickel instruments. Any instrument that is not lacquered will eventually become tarnished.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Springfield Music Repair Shop is the only shop in the area equipped with a 90 gallon Ultrasonic Cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaning is an innovative method of cleaning musical instruments through the use of high frequency sound waves and a biodegradable, environmentally friendly cleaning solution. Transducers mounted in the tank create tiny bubbles which clean and scrub the entire instrument in a safer, more thorough manner than traditional mechanical or chemical cleaning methods.
