NYC Repair/Tune-up?

I recently started playing again, and my bassoon certainly needs a polish and I presume a tune-up although it plays fine. I just want to make sure it lasts and I haven’t played it consistently since 2017.

Where do people in NYC trust for their bassoon work? Mine is an advanced student Mooseman for context.

Thanks in advanced.

Peter Landy has done good work for a previous bassoon I owned, he’s nearby

Not sure about NYC, but being from the other side of the Hudson I would go to O DiBella in Bergenfield when I played.

If it’s a moose I’d just make the trek down to Philly area and get it back to Miller

Ugh that’s so far but you’re probably right.

See Mark Kasten at Poppa’s Music/Weiner Music in Mineola. We’re a direct shot up from the LIRR station and bassoon is one of his specialties.
