I know it's probably been discussed several times before, but does anyone know of someone who still does respectable re-engraving work? I have a MKVI tenor I've own for about 15 years and I have always wanted the engraving redone. I've done research and it seems that Sherry Huntley of Artistic Engraving has retired and Jaice Dumars doesn't do this work anymore also. I have only stumbled on Music Medic who possibly does this work. Does anyone else have any other information, knowledge or recommendations to pass along? Thanks so much.

I think that Eric Drake is still engraving, and Jaice recommended him highly in this thread from a couple of years ago.

On a completely different note: I didn't realize you were a member here! I love your sound and your ideas, you're truly an inspiration. I hope that you start uploading videos to YouTube again soon.

Aw thanks man! Yeah haven't made any videos in awhile. Basically ever since the pandemic started I left the NY area temporarily. However when I return I'll be sure to return to Youtube too as well. I'll check out Eric Drake too as well

Australia might be a bit far for the OP (@StantawnKMusiC), but Dirk Zeylmans in Canberra (SotW member dzve) does quality engraving. IIRC he was trained by Sherry Huntley. His web address is www.tritone.net.au.
Thanks so much for the info Mike T. Australia is far but I'll keep the suggestion open!

Music Medic offers the services of an engraver , also Cannonball (I am not sure they would engrave some other horns).

However the cost in the US may be substantial.
Thanks for the info man!

There is a fantastic engraver called Majzic Roberts. Also Nguyen Duy Khang.
Have a look on the Facebook group called 'Saxophone and Instrument Engraving'.
Thanks man I'll check out the FB group

So everyone Sherry Huntley has agreed to “do me a favor” and do the job for me. I’m grateful because I know technically she’s retired. Thanks everyone for your responses. I’m absolutely going to let her do it.

You're in good hands!
Hey man! Definitely would have looked forward to you doing it too if I knew how to get in touch. I heard you was working with Google and not doing this work now. I saw you did Tim Lin a favor on a soprano. You guys and your talents are missed in the industry.

Sherry is great. The only one better is Jaice Dumars. He is the best that exists today, but he doesn't do a whole ton of work to my knowledge. Some of the projects he's done are just so incredibly stunning it's hard to believe.

Hope your project is everything you hope it to be!
