I bought a VI baritone that had been overhauled by Emilio 5 years before I got it and he has tweaked it for me may times with no charge, although I tip him every time to be polite. If you are nice and respectful then yes, I think he will work on the axe. He is a beautiful person and can see staight through BS.

1-888-RAYBURN or 1-617-266-4727. There is an automated prompt which will send you directly to Emilio or his voice mail. I can not offer anything further.

Boy, this simple thread got way out of hand didn't it? :?

Emilio is a good man. He is old country, not just old school. His reputation is well deserved and has earned the respect of international woodwind luminaries through several generations. I have had the pleasure of doing business with him for ~32 years and trust him like a close family member.

He will honor what is honorable. He will see through someone trying to take advantage of him.

The "lifetime" warranty? I bring my Super 20 and Mark VI into him occasionally and he makes necessary adjustments. The Super 20 has already been overhauled by him twice, so it's in it's second "life." He mentioned that it will be good for another year or so without needing a new overhaul. It is my workhorse, it can't stay perfect forever.

I try to get into Rayburns ~ once every month or so. If I don't have my tenors with me, he requests to see them at least 2-3 times a year for a check-up.

Long live Don Emilio!
