INSTRUMENT VOICING
A service unique to JH Woodwinds!
Every woodwind instrument has a unique voice and character, sometimes customized and skilled repair techniques are needed to further develop this voice. We call this Instrument Voicing.
This service is designed to address tuning, tone, and response of your instrument. Instruments do not come perfect from the factory but over many years I have developed and cultivated methods and techniques to help bring out the best in your woodwind.
We begin with a consultation and we work on one one to pinpoint your needs and how to best address them.
Voicing is what set’s our shop apart from others and allows me to use both of repair and performance skills to make your instrument sound it’s best!
