Hi buescheralto. My suggestion: If you have a (reputable) symphony orchestra near by, try to make contact with someone there. Ask for recommendations. Any good jazz clubs around? Same idea. These folks don't monkey around with hack repair jobs. May be a waiting list for the service, but well worth it. By the way, I just introduced myself today as well, and along with two pristine Conn Alto's, I have a 'naked lady' tenor that needs some work too & tomorrow am going take my own advice! Also getting back into music after (too much) time off. Well met Buescheralto!! (good luck.)
