Oboe Repair and Adjusting Experience

I used play oboe professionally for about 15 years in my youth then I moved on to science. Now I am retired and I am trying to get back into it.

I live in DC area. Any one recommend good repair person in the north-east US? Or should I limit my option to north-east US?

Here is a link to a repairman in the DC area from Kerry Willingham's website:

Kerry lives near Annapolis. He's a good person. You might enjoy reading his biographical information on his site.

Thanks. I hope he treats professionals and amateurs alike with the same professional attitude. I ran into a repair person who treated me with little/no respect because I was not a professional, and also served me with unacceptable quality work.

Tell him you found him through the recommendation of Kerry Willingham. That should cover most eventualities.
