Mechanical Restoration and Technical Repair of the Bb Baritone

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / /

The internal maintenance of a baritone requires precise intervention to remove accumulated calcium carbonate and organic residue, which often occurs at a higher rate than in a standard euphonium. Over time, these deposits constrict the internal bore, altering the acoustics and increasing air resistance. At our workshop in Lowton, we utilize ultrasonic cleaning and chemical […]

Technical Maintenance and Chemical Cleaning of Brass Instruments in Lowton

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / /

Periodic maintenance on a Yamaha flugel horn is required to mitigate the accumulation of calcified deposits and lubricant oxidation. At our Lowton facility, serving Salford, we analyze the internal bore for obstructions that disrupt laminar airflow. Over a 24-month period, the combination of saliva-borne minerals and synthetic lubricants creates a viscous sludge that adheres to

Technical Baritone Leadpipe Fabrication and Bore Alignment

Leave a Comment / Baritone / /

The arrival of a Bb baritone at our Lowton facility without its leadpipe presents a total disruption of the acoustic column. Without this critical entry point, the instrument functions as a series of disconnected resonators rather than a coherent pneumatic system. At Elliott Brass, we treat these structural failures with mechanical precision. The leadpipe is
