Repair and maintenance
For wind instruments, drums and percussion
At Adams, qualified repair specialists service, repair and overhaul your wind instrument, drum kit or concert percussion. For woodwind instruments you can choose between a service, a COA (Clean, Oil and Adjust) or an overhaul, in which all pads and corks are replaced. Brass instruments receive regular maintenance or an overhaul and can be cleaned ultrasonically. For drums and percussion, we replace and tension heads, tune drum kits and maintain the mechanisms of timpani, marimbas and xylophones.
If the keys no longer seal properly, the valves feel sluggish or the heads on your drum kit are worn, you can bring your instrument to one of our showrooms or send it to us. For an overhaul, you first receive a quotation following an inspection. A loan instrument is available for some instruments during the repair.
Upcoming events
New! Adams Magazine edition 57
Sound may well be the most essential gift that music gives us. Even before a melody unfolds or a rhythm settles in, there is that single tone that sets something in motion. Sound touches, connects and allows us to feel what words often cannot express. For Adams, this is not an abstract idea. Everything we do begins with the conviction that the right sound matters.
In this edition, that idea takes shape in various ways. In the cover story about Kuniko Kato, the search for one perfect sound is central as the essence of music. An attitude characterized by dedication, concentration and uncompromising honesty.
