>> I don't think all repairmen are equal at all.

Of course not, but it's also very silly to claim any one repairer is "in a class by themselves"....

To the original poster, since one of those repairers is in your area, that's probably the best option if the work is good. You can try contacting local players like symphony players, other professional players, students in university, etc. and ask who they recommend and if they have experience with the person you are considering.

Do you have any local Canadian music forums with a woodwind sub forum, for example? Even in my very small country (where searching for repairers on forums is very rare) there are a couple of forums and occasionally someone asks about repairers. I imagine it will be easier to find info for Toronto.

It's not only the "finishing" that is relevant to a local repairer. Usually a repairer can check your instrument while you are there to give a general idea so you can get a sense of what the person is like. You can always say thanks and walk away....
