Repair department
Our wind instrument repair department is where craftsmanship and passion come together. Our experienced and certified repair technicians have extensive knowledge of all types of wind instruments. With utmost precision and the use of high-quality materials, they ensure that each instrument is restored to peak condition. Whether it’s minor adjustments, thorough maintenance, or complex repairs, your instrument is in the best hands with us.
Polishing
Thoroughly cleaning your instrument. It is recommended to clean your instrument once every six months. You can do this yourself, or you can have it done by Adams. We thoroughly clean your instrument in our large ultrasonic bath and polish it to make it shine again.
Disclaimer: If the lacquer on your instrument is damaged or peeling in certain areas, it may come off during ultrasonic cleaning. We are not responsible for this.
Regular Maintenance Cornet
Regular maintenance is suitable for new cornets, well-maintained instruments, or cornets that have recently undergone a revision.
During this maintenance, the cornet is carefully disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned. The valves and rotors are oiled, and the slides receive a fresh layer of grease. Additionally, we check the condition of the springs, guides, and corks to ensure everything continues to function smoothly.
Cornet Revision
A revision is necessary for older cornets, instruments that haven't had professional maintenance for a long time, or cornets in poor condition. During the revision, your cornet will be completely disassembled and thoroughly ultrasonically cleaned. The valves and rotors are oiled, and the slides are polished and greased, ensuring everything functions smoothly again.
Additionally, we replace felts, corks, springs, and valve guides, and we address any play in the rotors. Everything is done based on a previously discussed estimate. Any unforeseen additional costs will always be discussed with you in advance.
Cornet Repair
In addition to revising the Cornet, we also carry out repairs. Dent removal in bells happens here daily. Have you dropped or bumped your Cornet?
Please visit us with your Cornet and we will have it repaired.
Cornet Lacquering
Do you have a lot of scratches on your Cornet and do you want to lacquer them? This is of course also possible with us. Please note, for the lacquering of the Cornet, the instrument must be undented In case we have to fix this, we have to calculate a surcharge for these actions. For lacquering your instrument you can choose from: high-gloss lacquer (colorless), a matt lacquer, gold lacquer, vintage look lacquer (antique lacquer), for other colors or special requests please contact us.
Silver plating your Cornet
The same conditions apply to silver plating as for lacquering your Cornet. In addition to 'normal' silver plating, you can also opt for matt silver plating of the instrument.
Mouthpiece adjustments
In addition to silver plating and lacquering your instrument, you can also have your mouthpieces silver- or gold plated. Contact us about the costs and possibilities. We can also make a plastic rim on the mouthpiece or a screw-on rim.
Valve reconstruction and valve alignment
Valve reconstruction makes your valve cylindrical in shape and fits perfectly in the valve housing so that your valve runs smoothly. The valves are then nickel-plated. You can also choose valve alignment, valve alignment ensures that the passages in the valve connect seamlessly to the valve pumps. This results in better control of the instrument.
Supports and stands
If you need extra support while playing your cornet, you can submit a request with us to develop a special support to enhance your playing experience.
Modifications
For your Cornet we can also make the following adjustments to your instrument:
- Shorten main tuning slide
- Install additional water valve

- Conversion from right-handed to left-handed (on request)
