History of Brass & Woodwind and the Edinburgh Music Centre

Brass & Woodwind was founded in 2000 by Bryce Ferguson (HND in Brass and Woodwind Manufacture and Restoration) in a small workshop in southwest Edinburgh. From the start, we specialised in brass and woodwind instrument servicing, repair, and restoration—including expert saxophone servicing and repair.

Today

Over the years, we’ve expanded into three fully equipped workshops,for brass woodwind strings and guitar, now offering a full spectrum of services—from basic instrument check-ups to advanced restorations and custom saxophone repair work.

Our restoration workshop is one of the most advanced in the UK, providing a complete in-house service. This includes silver, copper, nickel, and gold plating, as well as professional relacquering and custom finishes tailored to your needs.

We’re proud to offer the UK’s largest ultrasonic and chemical cleaning tanks, capable of cleaning even the biggest instruments (up to a BBb tuba in our 450-litre tank). This ensures a deep, thorough clean for your saxophone or any brass/woodwind instrument.

We’re trusted by many of the UK’s top musicians for high-quality saxophone servicing and repair, as well as work on all other brass and woodwind instruments.
