The Brass and
Woodwind Shop
Burnt Hills, New York

For over 27 years, Art has had a passion for repairing and restoring instruments. He now works out of his own repair shop in Burnt Hills, New York.
Our Services
Not only do we offer repairs and restorations on brass and woodwind instruments of all ages, but we also offer private and group band instrument repair tutorials in person and online, consultations for music stores wanting to start or improve their Band Instrument Repair departments, and free informational YouTube videos.


Education & Training
Videos are a wonderful resource, but hands on training is even better. We offer in person classes for the beginner, the hobbyist, and the professional. We also offer Zoom call training meetings for those who are unable to attend in-person/hands on training.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“Art is not only a master craftsman, but an all around amazing person. A modern day MacGyver, he can fix just about anything. Don't have enough superlatives. And, no matter what is going on.... I never feel rushed. He always finds time to speak over the phone too. Highest recommendation!!”
David
“This is the kind of small scale craftsmanship that persists in few areas of life these days, and should be cherished. The service is expert, individualized, timely, and
affordable. It's definitely worth the trip to bring your brass here.”
Matt
“Between drop off and completed repair of two trombones were less than 3 business days. Repairs of dents were almost imperceptible. Repair came with some advice on instrument care. Very reasonably priced.”
Karen
“I'm really happy to know there's an excellent band instrument repair person in the area. I discovered Art's shop through his YouTube channel. After seeing his videos and watching him work in person, I can say his workmanship and knowledge is top notch. I had a tricky problem with a clarinet and he not only fixed it in less than fifteen minutes, but also showed me what to do (I do rudimentary repairs but nothing major) an
d how he did it. All-in-all, with reasonable prices, a good selection of used horns, and quality of workmanship and knowledge, I wouldn't hesitate recommending him to anyone in need of band instrument repair!”
