Hi,
I posted on a student Bb Artley Prelude I have which apparently isn't worth much so I guess I'll hang onto it.
Unfortunately, one joint needs to be recorked. I'm in the Seattle area. I looked around for a place to do it, but the 3 places I contacted seem very high end... they each wanted to do an 'overhaul' rather than just doing that one quick fix. I know they have my best interest at heart, but I really just want -that- one thing fixed so I can mess around with it if I want.
In short: can someone recommend a place in the Seattle area that caters to poor people who only want a make do fix? (LOL)
TIA,
---JC
PS: And no, I don't want painters tape. I just want a guy who isn't trying to upsell me on a repair that's more than the price of the instrument. No disrespect to repair people at all!
