After considerable research to locate and then discuss my needs with a competent repair facility, I left my Elkhart Conn 88H trombone with Todd at Cadence in North Ft Myers FL. There were hand slide issues that were largely masked to me due to built up tension in the end crook and inner and outer slide parallelism. There was also a small dent that was mirrored in inner and outer slides that required lots of burnishing. Additionally the rotary valve was removed, realigned etc and main screw replaced that was hanging by a thread. Slide and rotary valve then ultrasonically cleaned. Huge improvement now in how the horn responds and sounds.

I am a retired HS Band Director and play professionally through SW FL. This horn is a main workhorse for many venues. Todd put much time into my complicated repair and refurb. I would recommend Cadence Music services to any colleague.
