Clarinet Repairs
In the basement of Howarth of London we have a workshop where highly trained and
experienced technicians repair, service and overhaul instruments or make
made-to-measure alterations to customers' specifications. Their services are in
great demand and we suggest you call well ahead (see "Contacting us" link on
the left) to book your instrument in.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS: Emergency work can usually be
ccommodated at short notice, but please call before coming to the shop.
Minimum charge for while-you-wait pads/corks etc from £10.00
ex-VAT, £11.75
inc-VAT.
For a general service your instrument will need to be in the workshops for
approximately 1 week.
All prices are estimates subject to inspection of the instrument.
