What Sets Us Apart
The British Music Service is based in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, and offers customers across the region a large range of repair tasks from general servicing of brass and woodwind instruments to repair and ultrasonic cleaning by Ron Moonesinghe. Ron chose the name British Music Service when he originally established the service to schools and musicians in Abu Dhabi to give expats the reassurance that his background and training was from the UK. Ron was trained by Trevor Head at the Llangunllo School of Instrument Repair in Wales and is proud to be a professional member of the National Association Musical Instrument Repairers (NAMIR), of which Trevor Head is the President. The British Music Service guarantees customers receive the best service available and with over 50 years of experience as a trombonist and more recently as a Big Band leader, he understands why your instrument needs to be in the best condition. Using the very best tools and equipment available on the market, you are in safe hands.
We are proud to be working with Normans as one of their trusted repairers for the Midland region.
Ron is very friendly and helpful. He was very accommodating for the timeframe I required for my instruments to be repaired and serviced.
He has a great workshop and has all the facilities to enable him to service and ultrasonic clean all of my instruments.
Ron’s attention to detail was evident when he first looked at my trumpet that had a slight fault with the valves lining up. This has completely changed how it plays for the better.
The ultrasonic cleaning service is worth every penny. Literally looks like new afterwards!!
I would highly recommend using Ron’s services for all your brass maintenance and repairs. Very reasonably priced.
Thanks Ron

Two clarinets and a cornet had a wonderful experience with Ron, returning home, (to Scotland, via the post office) within a few days, well prepared for hard work, and cleaner, more gleaming, than when they were new! Thankyou, Ron, for your kindness, efficiency, and sense of humour.

Ron did a fantastic job on a flugel we took in for repair and a Deep Clean. The repair was excellent and the change to the instrument all round after the Deep Clean was remarkable ... and as our flugel player remarked on its return, it was 'like new'. A superb job. Also, prior to the work, Ron talked me through exactly what he was going to do. A superbly kitted out workshop and a very professional setup in every sense. Thankyou Ron for your workmanship and we will certainly be seeing you again.
