My trumpet received a hard knock to the first valve/bell tube, so the first valve was jammed and there was a dent in the bell tubing. Dave explained what would need to be done and also the effects on the finish (It's a silver lacquer finish). I've just got the trumpet back, and it's such a beautiful job, the repair is invisible unless you look really closely. I also had it serviced at the same time & it looks brand new. I'm so happy to have found him. He's an absolute champion.
Years of experience and a huge depth of knowledge here as well as a quick turn around. Had the thumb lever and a leak re soldered as well as both valves on my bass trombone serviced. Needless to say the instrument blows and feels fantastic again. Thanks Satch. Convenient location for any brass players working/visiting London with free parking and cafe on site. Brill!
Top service. Easy to deal with, excellent work at a sensible price. As good as you get. Will definitely use again for any future work, and will be recommending to my friends. Thank you.
Satch was a complete pleasure to deal with and did a brilliant job. Came up with a quick solution when no spare part was available to repair my son's cornet. Highly recommended.
Professional service every time for my French Horn - and a quick turnaround! Excellent!
I have taken both trumpets and a french horn to Satch for repairs and servicing. Always excellent work. Super helpful, friendly, and fast turnaround when needed. Good value. Highly recommended Thank you!
After years of going to a shop in town and getting really expensive slow repairs. It was nice to have a quick well priced repair to my child's trumpet. Satisfaction beyond just having my trumpet fixed but also practically on my door step and a real pleasure to meet David. Proper 5 star service.
David took loads of dents out of my horn and did a great job on my trombone slide at very short notice & turnaround. Amazing service. Super friendly & very reasonably priced. So glad to have found him!
I phoned Satch to ask him to service my son's trumpet. He happened to be in the area, came and picked it up, serviced it and returned it the next day. It was serviced well and Satch was extremely accommodating and courteous. I would highly recommend him
Fantastic service. Efficient fast and friendly. My son received a trumpet as a gift which was sitting in someone's loft for over 10 years! All valves etc was stuck and would not move... All sorted and works like a dream. Thanks Satch
I hadn't seen Satch since Paxman days and it was fantastic to catch up with him, see him looking so well.... and above all know that my instrument was back in the best possible hands. You really couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable or highly skilled craftsman to work on your professional instrument, a fantastic job with loads of little extra attention to detail. Thanks Satch, it was great to see you and thanks for getting my horn back to its best.
Huge thanks to David for not only servicing a second hand trumpet I bought my daughter for Christmas but for also allowing drop off and collection locally to me. Lovely guy, excellent service!
Highly professional job that I'm happy to recommend. Satch (David) was extremely efficient and able to accommodate my needs at very short notice. We won't hesitate to use his services again in future
Perfect service from estimate to completion. David (Satch) is an absolute gentleman who recognises that your instrument is precious to you regardless of what it is or how much it might be worth to anyone else. He has a great eye for what can be done and talks you through options for repairs from conservative measures to radical surgery! He gives straightforward estimates of cost and talks you through any work he plans whilst you are there. David's work is superb and he clearly draws on his years of experience on all brass instruments. His calm manner is very reassuring (particularly when you are putting your damaged instrument into his hands) and his work lives up to the high standards that he implies. A real gem for everything from simple service to major repairs. Have a chat to David and see what he recommends.
What a find - I'm so glad that my frantic Google search came up with David (Satch), after I unwisely bought a non-functional double French horn on eBay. Within a few days and at an entirely reasonable price he had restored this beautiful instrument to its full glory. He has years of experience and is so welcoming and full of good advice. Highly recommended!!

I’m an amateur player and sent my double horn in due to a stuck valve, as well as generally dirty conditions inside. This was my first service and the transformation was immense, Satch made sure to leave all aspects in fantastic condition.
