[Trombone-l] case repair

[thetubameister@roadrunner.com]

We do basic latch repairs or replacement, repairing linings, simple stuff.  Crushed wood... it depends, but we have clamped,  re-glued and re-stapled with good success in the past, but we are very limited.  Those King cases, though, are really good and probably worth the trouble to bring to a proper luggage repair shop.  A friend of mine and I share a King 8B case for flying - it's amazing!
