Subj: Re: [DR-L] Oboe Maintenance
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2006 12:07:49 -0400
Hi Jean: I had good service from Massullo Music, the phone number
is 604-294-1777. other place I tried but it took too long to get the
horn back was Northwest Music, their phone number is 604-877-1991.
Maybe you should call Erin Marks (Long & McQuade Music) at
604-682-5288 , she has a lot of experience with oboes and will help
you find a reputable and fast service shop.
Cheers
Juan
