I have been having a couple of issues with my bass trombone recently and would like to send my horn to get fixed. I would normally take it up to Dillons to be fixed but I cannot take the time to do so for at least 2 months. What are some places to do so around Philadelphia?
Issues being linkage heads are worn out, slow tuning slides, and I would like a general cleaning done.

If you don't mind the drive out to Amish country, I highly recommend http://www.seacatmusic.com/Home.php
Curtis does incredible work and his prices are fantastic.

Re: Repair Shop around Philadelphia
Particular (since not mentioned in your post) if the playing slide needs NO work done to it, you could consider bubble-wrapping the crap out of the bell section (so-as you could drop it on the floor from waist-high, and do no damage), and ship-or-mail it to someone who could get to it fairly quickly...whether that's Dillon or someone else. Oh yeah: If you consider this, I mean REALLY bubble-wrap the bell section like crazy, and ship it in a carton and NOT in the case.
