Overhaul
I got an Armstrong alto that hasn't had the pads changed in 10 years, has original corking, and has various dents and areas of lacquer peel. One of the rods broke off (from the bow) a couple of years ago and when it was soldered back on, the lacquer around it more or less melted off.
Is this horn worth overhauling? And if it is, who should I send it to? WWBW offers to do it for around $650-$700. Plus they'll re-lacquer it. If I send it to someone private, would they do that as well? Any advice would be offered. Thanx!!
