Flute Clarinet Saxophone

Woodwind Tech offers a low cost alternative to your woodwind instrument repad, overhaul, and repair work. A technician for twenty-five years, David Henry of Woodwind Tech gives each instrument personal attention. A quality repad will restore your woodwind to a playing condition, probably even better than when it was purchased new.
Since I play flute and other woodwinds, I can tell if an instrument is not playing to its full potential. And I also know what to do to get it right.

If you are not in need of a repad, I will also effect necessary repair only. Or, if you just have a question, E-Mail: (davehenry777@yahoo.com)
