Tony is so honest! He doesn't gear you toward having unnecessary work done. I took a used flute that I recently purchased to a another instrument repair place in Berkeley. The shop owner told me I need a new set of pads put in, and the cost was kind of up there too. I wanted a 2nd opinion so I came to Tony. Tony said the pads are still pretty new. They weren't properly installed but he could "work them." And indeed that's all it needed. Now the flute plays just fine! I also had another flute that I have been playing. Similarly, it got adjusted at a very reasonable price! And now it plays much better. I live in SF. But I would not hesitate to drive to San Rafael again if I have flute repair needs again. It was totally worth the drive.
