Here at Oberloh Woodwind and Brass Works we take great pride in our work. All of us can honestly say we believe NO ONE ELSE in the Pacific Northwest does better trumpet restorations then we do ! The Bach Stradivarius trumpets we restore will play, in most cases, better then brand new models! We install brand new mouthpipes, and cut them to theexact Bach Stradivarius standards. We make completely new slide tubes if the originals are sub-par. We also make new valve caps, stems, buttons, and finger hooks, again to exacting standards. All of this work is done by hand at our facilities. These instruments will not only look excellent, but will play wonderfully for years to come!

We also have an assortment of used and restored trumpet and cornet mouthpieces! We try our best to update the pages as often as we can but somethimes it is difficult to stay on top of it so feel free to ask, we might just have what you are looking for.
