IOWA: Shops near Des Moines, IA

[LargoBone]

I've recently become disenchanted with my current shop (Rieman Music) as they consistently overcharge me and the quality of work is often sub-par and/or incomplete. I'd love to be able to take everything to Merlin Grady in Waterloo but it's a pretty long drive for some stuff (I recently had a problem with a stuck bit in a sousa neck) and my parents aren't psyched about me driving 4 hours roundtrip for what they think is a remedial problem (trombone slide alignment or the like) or driving it up themselves. Anything within an hour's drive (one-way) would be great. Thanks!

Lee Stofer is a premier brass technician (and a very nice man), but I'm afraid that his shop in Camanche, Iowa may not be convenient either.

Yep, a bit farther than Waterloo. Thanks anyway!

Take it to Merlin. There's not a better technician closer as far as I've heard. Waterloo isn't that far from Des Moines.
