Many of you already know me because I’ve worked in Birmingham for 10 years, but you may not know that I’ve set up my own shop. Collins Hornworks is a great place for your students to go to have their instruments repaired. Also, call me about repairs for your school saxes or bass clarinets, or if you are looking to purchase a used horn for your school.

Steve has been a band instrument repairman in the Birmingham area for 9 years. He worked in a local music store repairing all brass and woodwind instruments, then specializing in woodwinds, and for the last 6 years specializing in saxophones. He has a unique combination of being a skilled repairman and a competent musician. Most important is his passion for his profession to make sure every student or pro player receives a horn that works well and is fun to play.

As a musician, Steve has played baritone sax for 33 years, and marched in the Alabama Million Dollar Band with an alto sax. He played in the Alabama Jazz Ensemble, is a member of the Tuscaloosa Horn Section, and currently plays in several bands including the Night Flight Big Band, Horndogs, Power and Glory Big Band, and the “ Class of ’65.”
