Spencer Trumpets and Repairs

Im currently in my final year at Guildford School of Acting, and managed to do the really clever thing of dropping my trumpet in rehearsals! Will saw me the next day and sent me back with my trumpet better than it was before. An absolute godsend!

I've known Will for decades and he's the only person I'd trust to repair or restore my instruments. The latest in a long line of jobs is a vintage Burbank Benge C which he brought back from the dead. It was in a sorry state after a hard life in a US marching band. But now it looks factory fresh, with gorgeous silver plate, and thanks to his secret sauce the tuning, sound, centring, and responsiveness have been returned to the levels one expects from a classic Benge. The instrument is such a delight to play it's hard to put down. What a transformation! It's no wonder he has a reputation as one of the finest master craftsmen in the world! Thanks Will

A friend showed me her new trumpet it was, in fact, her old trumpet that she had sent to Will Spencer. It looked like new and she said it was playing better than ever. So, on her recommendation, I sent my 40 year old Vincent Bach Stradivarius large bore Bb trumpet to Will. It had a few small dents and the lacquer was blistering and coming off. Will has done a superb job on it. It looks and plays better than ever. The shine on the silver plate makes that on my Eb/D instrument look dull. The lead pipe was suffering from red rot and so Will replaced it with a new one. The valve and slide actions are smoother than before and the little rubber rings he added onto the 1st and 3rd valve slides eliminate the metal to metal noise when the slides are used. Both the high and low registers are easier and have a better tone. The plating on the mouthpiece is very much better than the original plating and feels better on the lips. The cost of the work was about what I expected and was much lower than the cost of a new instrument. I am really pleased with the result and would recommend Will to anyone thinking of an overhaul of their instrument.
