Why Top London Musicians Trust Woodwind London

At Woodwind London, we are proud to support musicians of all levels across North London and beyond — from beginners preparing for their first lesson to seasoned performers working across the capital’s busy gigging scene. One of the most rewarding parts of our work is receiving feedback from the professionals who trust us with their instruments year after year. Today, we’re delighted to share an endorsement from Marino Onissi, a respected performer and teacher whose work spans concerts, sessions, and education across the UK.

Marino explains why having a reliable, skilled repair workshop is essential to his day-to-day work as a musician:

“As a professional performer & teacher I need to have a good repair service at hand.
I’ve been taking mine and my students’ instruments to Ed and Slavena at Woodwind London for a few years now. I’ve been really happy with their service, advice and reasonable repair charges. Ed is great to deal with, always accommodating (especially with emergency repairs), and he’s up to date with new products. I’m looking forward to having a good relationship with Woodwind London for many years to come.”

We understand how disruptive a damaged instrument can be — especially when rehearsals, lessons and performances are scheduled back-to-back. That’s why our workshop prioritises fast turnaround times, transparent pricing, and high-quality craftsmanship for all woodwind and brass repairs. Whether it's fixing leaks on a clarinet, adjusting flute mechanisms, preparing a saxophone for a tour or carrying out urgent same-day repairs, our technicians Ed and Slavena work with precision and care.

Endorsements like Marino’s reinforce our mission to keep North London’s musical community thriving. We’re grateful for the trust placed in us and look forward to continuing to support performers, teachers and students for many years to come.
