Saxophone ready for repair

All repairs undertaken, from regulation and adjustment to a complete overhaul or rebuild. You should get your saxophone serviced every one to two years — you'll be surprised how much it can benefit from an inexpensive annual check and adjustment. Not only will it be easier to play, but all the annoying rattles and sticky pads will be gone. Almost any saxophone can be made playable again, so just contact Sally for a quotation.

If you can't get your saxophone to Sally in person, send it using a reputable courier at their standard rate and mark it as fragile. Make sure it isn't rattling around in its case, and that the case is of good quality.
