Dave,
Here is some info on one of the best techs ever AND he lives in Vegas. It doesn't hurt to ask if he wants a job. Here's the info from another post......................

I was doing a convention gig in Vegas about 4 years ago. I needed an emergency repair on my horn. I took a cab to Ron Halls' place. He is a great repairman. After he fixed my horn (and didn't charge me near what the repair should have cost, I actually had to force him to take more money !!!), he gave me a lift back to my hotel on the strip!!!!! He will always be my repairman when I'm in Vegas.

Below is what a trumpet player had to say about Ron on another forum.

Best repair man. Ever.

Just to get this out there, if anyone ever has seemingly irreversible damage to their horn, theres an INCREDIBLE repair man you need to hear about. This guy is a legend.

Ron Hall, in Las Vegas, NV. He's in the phone book, I believe. Anyways, this guy is just astounding. He once fixed Louis Armstrong's horn in the 60's I believe. Anyways, this guy is so good, that he once repaired Carl Fontana's trombone after the entire BELL was RUN OVER BY A TRUCK. Seriously, aside from his nearly unfairly low prices, he's just amazing.


Ron Hall,
(702) 363-6017, 721 Antelope Way, Las Vegas, NV 89145



Anyways, if anyone ever needs MAJOR LEAGUE repair, and doesn't want to deal with a big beaurocracy of places like Giardinelli, send it to this guy. I promise amazing results.

Thanks for the reply. I know Ron actually well. He is one of the best Brass repairmen there is and is a very competent woodwind repairman.

But he is, I believe, mainly retired. I will give him a call though.

Back in the early 80's a friend who managed the horn department at a local retailer tried to send me to repair school. After much discussion, I decided to pursue a Computer Science degree instead.

Now that a job is open in Sin City, I regret that choice immensely. :-)
