About Robinson Brass

Robinson Brass began in 2010 when Daniel Robinson’s fascination with vintage cornets sparked a journey of passion and craftsmanship. What started as rescuing these instruments from disrepair quickly grew into a deeper love for instrument restoration and repair. Through hands-on experimentation and extensive research, Daniel’s skills evolved from basic repairs to more complex endeavors.

A major milestone came in 2014 with the creation of our first full instrument, The Rotary, commissioned by a close friend. This project marked the beginning of our instrument-making journey, with each revision improving upon the last and solidifying our commitment to quality.

Operating from a small workshop in Yeovil, Somerset, Daniel is the heart of Robinson Brass. With expertise in machining and toolmaking, he not only crafts high-quality instruments and mouthpieces but also fabricates custom parts and tools for repairs—particularly for those hard-to-find pieces no longer in production. This unique approach allows for innovative solutions tailored to each instrument’s needs, reflecting Daniel’s dedication to excellence and precision.

At Robinson Brass, customer satisfaction is our driving force. The positive feedback we receive inspires us to continue refining our work as we look toward the future with confidence and enthusiasm.
