Any recommendations regarding the better technicians/brass repair shops to refurbish/renovate/repair/re-lacquer valuable vintage trombones in Europe?
Thank you!

Winfried Rapp in Schwieberdingen (near Stuttgart), Germany - every instrument of mine he has touched has come back playing significantly better than when I left it with him. He is himself a trombonist btw. and definitely takes the time to discuss and advise on individual requirements.

If it‘s specifically about lacquer, there is Müller Lack in Baiersdorf near(ish) Nürnberg, Germany.

Fidel Roldán from Sonas Trombones in Spain is the man.

He does an amazing job rebuilding old instruments. He is also a trombone player and he knows exactly what we trombonists want.

He has rebuilt several of my horns and makes them much better than new, both aesthetically and playably.

In the UK
Adrian Jarvis somewhere in the Wirrell, Cheshire or the like.
Rosehill Instruments Beaconsfield.
Mick Rath does repair work as well as make new instruments and you all know the quality of those.
Theres a guy in Copenhagen, Denmark who did an excellent job of splitting the triggers on my Duo Gravis - his name escapes me for the moment but I could find out.

Very useful input

Marcel Schot Atelier pfeiffer in the Hague is the best in the Netherlands, is a great bass trombone player himself and also took with Mick Rath.
