I've had good experiences with Reeves though it's been quite a while since my last visit. I'm lucky to live close enough to drive there. I've even had mouthpieces modified and replated while I waited, though I wouldn't count on that kind of service, certainly not without contacting them in advance.

Did you call the shop today? I was there getting some mouthpiece work done and I think I heard you and John on the phone.
They are always the best hands down. I love their work and don't consiter a horn complete without an alignment from them.

I happened to see Troy at the shop today. Little known fact: He likes to go by the monicker “MFS”.
And the Reeves’ people are the best.

I was surfing the Web to see if I could find a “Top Ten Ways to Play Trumpet Better” list.
Didn’t find ten tips but did discover a fine collection of nine and was pleased to discover the author to be none other than John Snell of Bob Reeves Brass.
Read and heed:
