Do you own an old Heckel instrument and want to know more about it? Using the serial number we can provide you with information about the age of your instrument. We also examine the general condition of your Heckel instrument. We also check both the condition of the surface finish, the inner bore and mechanisms. This means we can also provide you with an estimate for the necessary repairs immediately.
