Just moved up to Northwestern PA and in need of some custom work. I’m located 2 hours north of Pittsburgh, 2.5 hours east of Cleveland and about 2.5-3 hours from Buffalo. If anyone knows a reputable place, I would appreciate a shout!

Thanks!

I've had really good work done at Volkweins before.

Yep, Volkweins would be a good option.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking to have a Schilke ST21 converted so I can interchange the bell. Make it modular.

I had Chuck do that to my Bach while I lived in Cleveland - he did a great job. He modded all of Steve Witser's horns back in the day to make them fully interchangeable between Bach, Conn, and Benge parts (which was a lot of stuff), so he's done a lot of that kind of work.
