Services
Alberto Grossi Woodwinds offers a variety of services for all makes and models of flute and piccolo. Specializing in professional flutes, Alberto is certified in the use of Straubinger pads, which are used by makers such as Powell, Brannen, Miyazawa and Burkart, among others. He is also certified in the repair of Muramatsu flutes, having trained at the Muramatsu factory in Japan.
Modifications to the mechanism or keys of an instrument can help a musician play more comfortably, easily, and with less pain. The most requested customization types are additional extensions or keys, such as the Philadelphia key or left-F key for the oboe, or a G-key extension for an inline flute.
The AGW Thumb Rest can help anyone with discomfort or pain in their right hand when playing, or anyone who wants a more ergonomic hand position. You can adjust the thumb rest to find your most comfortable hand position. The thumb rest is suspended above the wood to prevent dampening the vibrations of the instrument.

I sent my flute (from Newfoundland & Labrador) to AG Woodwind Repair for much-needed repair and maintenance. It came back to me yesterday in beautiful condition- I could not be happier and feel as though I have a brand new instrument. Highly recommended!

I've been to see Alessandro twice and both times he made my Miyazawa Vision flute in perfect working condition! The first time he completely removed some tarnish that had developed and both times he made my flute easier to play, feeling like brand new. I would highly recommend his services to any flute or woodwind player who wants quality service and great turnaround time from someone who truly cares for others' instruments!

Alessandro is a gem! I purchased a used saxophone for my daughter who is in Grade 7 for her music class and it needed to be tuned and polished. I found AG woodwind repair on Google and based on his background profile, that he is a professional musician, I had a feeling that he would give a personal attention and care to the instrument as supposed to going with other company.

And he did just that! He did an amazing job tuning and polishing the saxophone that it looked almost brand new and plays very well. His pricing is also very reasonable. He is professional and very friendly. We will continue to go to him for yearly maintenance of our saxophone and will definitely recommend him.

Alessandro goes the extra distance to ensure that your instrument is in the best possible shape when it leaves his workbench. He is careful, professional, and genuinely seems to enjoy solving issues that have confounded other repair people. His prices are fair and his work is expert.

So glad I found AGWoodwind. A very professional job refurbishing my Buffet R13 clarinet. It needed lots of work and it was very well done right down to beautifully refinished markings. Plays so well again! I compared shops and AG is very reasonably priced. I have no hesitation recommending his services. Thank you Alessandro.

Got my Bb Clarinet refurbished at AG. Definetly an excelent job. I haven't done any maintainence for 8 years and the condition of the clarinet is absoultely desperate: a few keys broken, tarnished surface, lack of oil, etc. Then I found AG. It was a lot of work to be done and he's done it two days. I feel like my clarinet is even newer than a new one.

I tried it as soon as I got home and it plays smoothly and its sound did improve dramatically. AG's price is also very reasonable compared to the quality of his service. He pays full attention down to the very detail. I will definetly recommend AG Woodwind Repair, and will come again next time.

Very Satisfied with my saxophone that I just got back from here. Alessandro is a professional by trade, but is also very personal to your instrument's concerns. He went above and beyond what I expect from a typical repair and I would highly recommend him.

I have been very happy with Alessandro's work on my 3 clarinets ( B flat, A and Bass) His work is excellent and he is very attentive to every small detail about each instrument. He has many years of technical experience with all woodwinds. Alessandro's prices have been fair for the work performed and his availability and timing have worked out well for me.

When I needed my Bass to be fixed within a few days for an upcoming concert, he was happy to accommodate me. I have no reservations in recommending Alessandro as my clarinet guy!
