I had my 25J overhauled completely by the team at Ozwinds (in Melbourne, Australia). It is now amazingly perfect.

It's gorgeous, plays even better than before, and I couldn't be happier.

Looking good!
My first impressions:
picture #1: happy owner
picture #6: unhappy repairman
One or both of those statements may be untrue, but those first impressions made me laugh.
CONN-gratulations!

How is the tuning on bottom of the staff F? Open or 1+3?

Beautiful!!!
Reminds me that the 20J needs a bath and a valve alignment. It looks like your before picture :(
I noticed you are playing without a bit! How is the intonation. I find C in the staff and F terrible even played 1+3 without a bit.

I can't think of anything better than someone who's really happy with their instrument.

I think the bead blasted brass with shiny bits is sexy!
Is the inside of the bell shiny too?
