Wait times for services
Due to an unprecedented and ongoing demand you will need to make a booking 3-4 months in advance.
To make a booking please call or email us using the form on this page. Even with a booking you can expect your instrument to be with us for a minimum of 2 weeks once it is here and assessed.
Minimum charge: $60
See below for service estimates. Please be aware that our technicians do not work at the weekend.
Certain small jobs can be performed in store quickly and with zero or minimum charge for example stuck brass mouthpieces and wooden clarinet tenon shaves. Please communicate with our staff if you suspect a warranty issue on an instrument purchased from Sax & Woodwind. We will attempt to assess these as soon as possible.

Please remove everything from the case except the instrument (mouthpieces, swabs, lubricants) unless necks/mouthpieces need to be recorked.
