Help with insurance claims
Do you have an insured instrument that has been damaged? We can examine it and produce a professional report including photo documentation and a binding cost estimate for repair. We are happy to contact your insurance company and take care of all the formalities until the issue is settled. This means that you have a playable instrument in your hands as quickly as possible, with little effort.
Our instrument insurance offers:
Mannheimer Sinfonima | Versicherung Angelika Wagner | MML-Versicherung
Useful tips
Yes, these are particularly small and compact and just right for children’s hands and short arms. On another note, it is also possible to play brass instruments if you have braces; this is a question of practice and getting used to it.
Dents in brass instruments usually look worse than they are. Small dents in the bell are usually no problem in terms of playing quality. However, deep dents can narrow the cross section of the tube. In any case, we can remove dents in our workshop with the right tool in just a few steps.
Ordinary dirt and deposits can be removed by placing brass instruments in a bath with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Grease and oils dissolve after around half an hour. You can then pull a cleaning brush through the tubes and rinse them with water. Then dry the instrument thoroughly and wipe the inner slides clean. Do not forget to oil it again when finished! We are happy to help with stubborn soiling and lime deposits.
It’s here: The NEW B&S 3099QW “ADVANCED”
For the first time, B&S offers an F tuba with a standard quint valve for a better, easier low register. The “Advanced” is a progressive version of the established B&S model 3099/2W. None other than Prof. Walter Hilgers was the original idea giver for this project! The implementation has now been successfully completed with Sebastian Wagemann (Komische Oper Berlin, UdK Berlin). We have it! Let us advise you personally, by phone or by mail.
