ABI'S COMPLETE REPAIR AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT
In the greater Southern California region, please consider ABI
your primary source for brass and woodwind repair needs.
 |
Technical expertise is one of the cornerstones of Anaheim Band Instruments. Decades of experience in the repair and maintenance of brass and woodwind instruments makes us the #1 choice for many professional musicians in the greater LA area, as well as countless schools, amateur musicians, and students.
We have a full-service repair shop on-site capable of handling everything from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Our highly skilled technicians are proficient with all brass and woodwind instruments, routinely performing repairs on everything from piccolos to tubas.
A word from Tom Kubis:
"Wow and double wow- I played a gig on my tenor last night and it was amazing - it never played that good ever - great job!! I'll recommend you to everyone! ... I'm bringing in my soprano and alto - Thanks so much! All the best." March, 2009 |
You are always welcome to bring your horn in to our repair shop for a free evaluation and estimate. Without seeing your instrument in person, it is almost impossible to give you an accurate estimate of what a repair is going to cost by email or telephone.
Whether you have a clarinet that needs a new cork or a french horn that's been dropped, we'll get you back up and playing better than ever.
We are at your service! |

Francisco Agredano came to ABI with almost three decades of experience with some of the most respected instrument manufacturers in the world. His expertise in brass instrument construction and repair makes him an invaluable part of the ABI team.
A word from Mr. Browne:
"Francisco is a master brass technician. He is the viejo (old man) in the shop. Some technicians learn the trade as an apprentice in a shop, others like Frank learn by hiring into a music instrument factory position.
Francisco worked for Kanstul Musical Instruments in Anaheim. At the time he came over to ABI, he had been the foreman at Kanstul with 30 years experience inside the factory. Francisco has two adult sons who are both brass players." |

Gerry Ruvalcaba is our woodwind lead technician and is and excellent all-around tech. He joined ABI after learning the art of brass instrument bell-making in a major manufacturer's factory. His talent with metal forming and finishing makes even the most difficult brass repairs appear effortless.
A word from Mr. Browne:
"Gerry Ruvalcaba is another master technician that we inherited from the Kanstul factory. Gerry's responsibilities at the plant were primarily in the bell department. He hand-hammered and spun bell sections for picc trumpet to tuba for 15 years before coming to ABI.
Gerry knows how to move around the metals in brass instruments and parts as only a few in the U.S. can and is extremely capable of making it exactly right. He has a loyal following with members of the Symphony and the Philharmonic." |
