"Katy Hopkins is an outstanding instrument repair technician – she has worked on my professional flute and piccolo as well as those of my students for many, many years. Being a musician herself, she understands the necessity
to have instruments in the best playing condition possible. She is reliable and prompt with her work and will “tweak” any adjustments you might request, as well as help you immediately if you have an emergency repair
you need done spur of the moment. The most impressive job she has done for me is a complete rebuild of an old, worn out bass flute that had seen many years of neglect. Katy turned it into a responsive instrument
with a gorgeous sound, amazing for a bass flute! I highly recommend Katy for your instrument repairs!"
"I have known Katy Hopkins for several years. We have collaborated in
chamber music together and she has repaired instruments for my bassoon
methods class at The University of Mississippi. I celebrate
the quality
of her work as an instrument repair specialist, her collegiality, and her
musicianship!"
"Katy Hopkins has worked on my clarinets and those of my clarinet students many times over the years. Her work is first-rate—she does an excellent job getting everything in working order and making sure that the player
is happy with all her repairs. She is also wonderful to work with: conscientious, friendly and always helpful. Katy is an excellent musician herself, so she knows what her clients need and expect. I would recommend
her services to anyone seeking professional woodwind repair."
"Katy brings all her talents as a fine oboist to her repair work. She is that rare technician who understands the subtleties of playing and will find the one last adjustment that makes an instrument open up and sing. Never
in my 25 years as a professional oboist have I experienced this kind of finesse in repair and adjustment work."
