Repair Pricing Guide
All prices listed are estimates based on standard labor under normal conditions.
Instruments with severe damage, corrosion, prior repairs, or accessibility challenges may require additional labor.
Final pricing is confirmed after in-person evaluation.
Parts are not included unless explicitly stated.
At Rose City Instruments, every repair begins with careful evaluation and honest conversation. Brass instruments vary widely in construction, materials, and condition, and no two repairs are ever truly identical. Rather than forcing one-size-fits-all pricing, we provide transparent starting prices and confirm final costs after inspection.
Our goal is simple: do the work correctly, respect the instrument, and respect the player.
