The Top Brass® Repair Workshop is headed by Dave Costema, a repairman with over 20 years of experience. Himself a keen brass musician, Dave has set up one of the finest workshops in all of Asia. Highly skilled in traditional repair techniques, Dave is also a firm believer in using sophisticated modern technology. As he puts it: ”Often you get to repair an instrument better, quicker and cheaper with today’s hi-tech machines.” Dave doesn’t get into the traditional vs hi-tech argument; his approach is straightforward: “Whatever gets the job done best is the technique I use - it’s the result that counts. I’m a musician, so I know exactly what’s wanted.”

He’s known as something of a magician; as someone said, “He’s gotta be one to have fixed that!” His ‘secret’ tricks include an ultrasonic cleaner and the magnetic repair system.

But in truth, there is no secret to Dave’s magic: it just takes that many years of dedication and pride in worksmanship to acquire the repertoire of techniques and dexterity to be the craftsman that he is.

If the Top Brass® Repair Workshop can’t fix your problem, then you’ll really need Merlin or Santa Claus.

Naturally, all repairs at Top Brass® come with a Guarantee of Satisfaction & Warranty.
