Join Thousands of Musicians Who Trust Us with Their Instrument Restoration
Musical instruments demand a high-quality finish to maintain their iconic look. Chrome, copper, nickel, and gold plating are popular choices for discerning musicians.
We not only restore original parts but also offer a "wash and plate" process to change the color of new parts. This cost-effective and fast turnaround service involves removing the original finish and applying your chosen plating without polishing. Contact your sales representative for more details.
We take great pride in our custom musical projects. Each job often comes with a unique story, and we enjoy contributing our expertise to these exciting endeavors.
Recently, we gold-plated microphones for a tour featuring Nicki Minaj and Drake, as well as crafted props for Madame Tussauds in London.
We work on large-scale projects for wholesale distributors, such as trumpet tops, as well as individual pieces like guitar bridges and piano pedals for musicians.
We can restore original parts like brass trumpets and bugles, and we also handle new pieces like drum sets and guitar bridges.
