Testimonial-

Several years ago, I bought a 1920’s-era Geyer that sounded great but had had some shoddy repair work done that caused the F and Bb sides of the horn to be out of tune with each other.  Bruce shortened the F side, made some new slide tubes and repaired a few braces. That Geyer is now the best horn I own and is the instrument I use regularly in the San Francisco Symphony. He has worked on several of my other horns as well. I trust Bruce to do any repair work needed on my instruments. His new horn designs also look very promising!
