BOYER WOODWIND REPAIR -- ENDORSEMENTS & TESTIMONIALS

"The oboe is - unbelievable. You know, I think it plays better after you worked on it than it did after Mr. Laubin finished making it. I know it works better than when I bought it. It seals up extremely well and plays low B-flat very easily. I practiced on it today and could hardly put it down. It just seems like a new instrument. I certainly appreciate your expertise, experience, and attention to detail. The left pinky F key never felt that good either. My check is on the way to you, and have a great rest of the summer. Again, thank you for a wonderful job of repair and adjustment."

Bill Berliant

"Wow. I'm not sure it was ever this good, because if it ever was, I couldn't play that well then. It plays beautifully-- up, down and out to the edges. I'm speechless, and sorry I didn't send it to you years ago. I could have saved myself a lot of heartache. You should advertise: Boyer Woodwind Repair, Oboes and Self Esteem. The check is in the mail today. Thanks again."

Nancy Chamness
"The Strasser and Gordet oboes work nicely. Thanks. I will send the next box with Loree, Cabart, Marigaux..."

Marti Hess, Cygnet Studios' Azure Trio
Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

"It takes an accomplished musician like Bill Boyer to understand another player's needs fully. He has kept my A, Bb and C soprano clarinets in excellent condition for the last 15 years!"

Charles H. Davis
Bloomington, Indiana

"Mr. Boyer consistently put my bassoon in top shape, thereby making my performing experiences most enjoyable. I was pleased with his work and willingness to service my bassoon, often on short notice. It is without reservation that I recommend Boyer Woodwind Service to you."

Rodney Ackman
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma


"This is a long overdue thank you for the wonderful work you did on the 30-year old oboe I sent you this summer. My wife was completely
floored! The wood was lovely, the keys all polished up, all the seals flat and tight -- it looked great, and sounds beautiful. Again, thanks for helping me with this surprise - the package arrived on her birthday, which was an especially nice treat. You do beautiful work."

Norm Lubeck
Beverly, Massachusetts

"... thank you for the fine job you did on my Selmer Signet. It's as tight as a drum, pads and joints, and with whatever you did to the wood, just like new. I enjoy playing it (nearly) nightly. I've spent so long with baritone-voice woodwinds -- tenor saxophone and bass clarinet -- that I had forgotten what a gas b-flat clarinets are."

Roger Milnes
San Francisco


"Since you overhauled it, my bass clarinet plays like a new instrument!"

Perry Bratcher
Florence, Kentucky

"As a bassoonist, I know Bill Boyer as both a musician and a woodwind maintenance and repair expert. His skill at diagnosing what ails an instrument and subsequently eliminating such ailments has saved me on more that one occasion."

Lauren Gottlieb
Chicago, Illinois

"My clarinet arrived today and looks beautiful... Thanks"

Raymond Yeagley
Portland, Oregon

"I wish to express my appreciation to Boyer Woodwind Service for the excellent repair and maintenance service I received on both my oboes and a 37-year-old English horn, which now, in many ways, perform better than when new. I highly recommend your top quality woodwind repair service to all colleagues, performing students and professionals."
