While Prince Brass Repairs does their very best to ensure the proper repair of each instrument that enters the shop, we cannot guarantee that lacquered instruments will retain their lacquer while soldering braces, ferrules, etc together. Solder requires a specific temperature to flow properly which is past the melting point of instrument lacquer.

Prince Brass Repairs, Inc will contact the parent with an estimate before any work is completed.

Parents will be contacted to give the final total of the repair which includes tax and a date as to when the instrument will be returned to the school.

Payment is due prior to the return of the instrument to the school or else the instrument will not  be returned. 3 attempts to contact the parent for payment will be made via phone, email, or both.
