Instrument Repair

Facilities and information

Identifying Your Instrument

ALL personal instruments should have the name of the student marked CLEARLY on the outside of the case.  You are also encouraged to have "Hilliard Davidson" on the tag.  Parents should record the make, model number and serial number and keep it with your important documents.

How long do repairs take?

Most repairs will take one week from the pick up day for the return of the instrument.  Most of the repair facilities require authorization for more expensive work.  If they cannot get a hold of a parent for authorization, the repair will be delayed.

Instrument Repair Facilities

Buckeye Brass & Winds, LLC

Formerly Spillman Instrument Repair.  Rob Phillips purchased the company upon Mr. Spillman's retirement.  For those of you that know Mr. Spillman and valued his work, Mr. Spillman had a big influence on Mr. Phillips and would not turn his customers over to just anyone!  The shop is located in Dublin.  A store representative comes to the high school on Tuesdays to pick up instruments in need of work.  To speed up the repair process, you are encouraged you to visit his store.  Hours and directions are available on the web at www.buckeyebrass.net
