"During the past 40 years I can count on one hand the number of professional brass repair technicians I've entrusted my own horns to: 1 in NYC, 1 in New Mexico (formerly in L.A.), 1 in Virginia and, 1 in Boston. And then, there's Long Island's very own, Buddy Merriam. Don't forget to add Buddy Merriam to your list! Buddy embodies everything you look for in a professional repair technician: years of experience, master skills, meticulous attention to detail, fair prices and, above all else: he's one heck of a nice guy! P.S. He's an incredibly awesome mandolin player, too! Buddy is just amazing!” Thomas Gellert- Music Educator
"As a professional horn player and the owner of many high quality and expensive french horns, I have found Buddy's Brass to be invaluable for the maintenance and repair of these fine instruments. Buddy has been so accommodating and professional to work with plus very exacting in his repairs. I have sent all my students to him through the years and have never heard anything but complements from everyone. I feel fortunate to have a repairman of his quality in Suffolk County. "On time, reasonable & friendly. Buddy's Brass Shop is always a winner."
- Nancy Bennett Music Educator, Private Teacher & Performer
