In-house Service Centre: Woodwinds & Brass
Anyone who has visited us in Treppendorf may already know that we have an extensive service center. This houses 10 different specialist workshops, including guitars & bass, strings, electronics (keyboards, PA, loudspeakers, amplifiers, lights), piano, wood and brass instruments. ?
We stopped by our colleagues in the woodwinds and brass instrument service centre in order to give you an inside peek. In fact, the specialist workshops are one of the largest repair shops in Europe. Equipped with modern devices, they offer innovative procedures for repairing and refining instruments. We were completely amazed at the abundance of work they offer and perform. ??️️

The 14-person team in the brass and woodwind workshops consists of professionally trained instrument makers, including four masters. They carry out all kinds of modifications and all instrument manufacturers at personal request. Almost nothing is impossible. Using a computer measuring process, they check the tuning and resonance of the instrument or make spare parts. Your instrument is in the best of hands with them. Below you will find a full list of all the services and benefits offered.

Innovations and expanding the range
What also astonished us is that the team also improves products and works on innovations relating to Thomann’s own brands. Two specially developed products have received a patent: the Little Lion euphonium and the Little Elephant trombone with a child-friendly design for the young ones. Well done, dear colleagues! The teams in the workshops develop new instrument models – which you can ultimately find on thomann.de.

Quality assurance of our own brands
After purchasing a wind instrument from our in-house brands, our team of 10 checks the instruments before shipping. The colleagues in quality assurance for wood and brass instruments setup the instruments so that they are ready to play, pack them and off they go to the customers’ homes. ?
