“Recently bought a Yamaha YFH-6310Z ‘Bobby Shew’ Flugel From Stephen. It arrived in record time and it was in better playing condition than you’d receive from the factory. Plus, it’s been brilliant tweaked by Stephen - which makes the feel and slotting on this Flugel simply amazing. Top work!!”

“Sent Stephen a Conn Elkhart 8H after a nasty drop, landed on the tuning slide and most of the bell section needed serious work. The repairs were done quickly and efficiently and the instrument looks as good as new! I also sent over a mouthpiece to get plated and it was done beautifully. Thanks to Stephen for his reasonably-priced expert handiwork!”

The communication and service from start to finish was excellent and I highly recommend them for any serious player looking for top quality service and advice. Thanks everyone at Valve & Reed and look forward to using your service again in the future. Thanks again, Jim Corry”
