    I tried calling the phone # you referenced, no answer and there was no way to leave a message. Any other way to contact Kevin?

      Oh yeah, Kevin Powers is an accomplished repair tech. He built a modern day double-bell euphonium from a Willson 2975. Believed it was commissioned by Dr. Ed Mallett.

        I had a very positive experience with Mr. Powers when I took a horn to him to install an aftermarket trigger.

          I believe Kevin added the slide trigger on my HBS 378 at request of a previous owner. Wish I could get in contact with him. I also tried an email address a friend gave me, who had Kevin work on his tuba about a year ago - info@mmis.us

            Kevin's phone number has changed but he replies to the email address you listed. He is also semi retired but still working with individuals for the time being. I went to his shop yesterday for some work.
