I'm a newbie to the saxaphone world and need help understanding in general what the cost for repairs are. I had a leak and brought it in to the place where I take lessons. The cost came back at $120 which included new pads, a general check up and I'm assuming a big labor cost. Is there a standard fee like cars?
That cost seems a bit on the higher end of the price range, but that depends somewhat on how many pads they replaced. However, the labor that goes into fixing pad problems can be tremendous. There really is no standard, because often times the repair person just sits for a few hours with your sax and fusses with it until it works. It could take 5 minutes or 5 hours to fix an instrument.
ok well, that still seems a tad high, but it does depend on the pads, which can be a pain, and by general check up, if they clean all the stuff that they take off to do pads and this and that, it sounds ok, are there any dents or anything though, springs being replaced?
