Walberg and Auge offers drum and hardware restoration services through Anthony Defusco of "The Village Drum and Music".
Anthony has been handling Walberg & Auge's vintage drum restoration projects since the rebirth of W&A. (April 27th 2014)
His work is meticulous, prices are very affordable and the turn around time is the quickest we've ever experienced.
If you are having a Walberg & Auge drum restored, we will help with any questions, suggestions or concerns about the restoration process. We also offer help in W&A drum identification for historical tracking purposes.
No worries if your drum set is not W&A, Anthony restores all new and old drums of any kind.
Restoring your vintage drums not only restores their appearance but also
restores their value.
Anthony takes great pride in his restoration services
as this is what he enjoys most. He has many resources to help restore your
drums back to their original condition.
Anthony usually has restored vintage snares and sets at Village Drum and Music so you can see his work.
Village Drum and Music is a remarkable place to visit! In many ways it resembles the old Walberg & Auge store and workshop of yesteryear. As you walk into the store, you enter the showroom floor with an array of beautiful new and vintage drums. Keep walking and you'll reach the sales counter surrounded by racks of drum sticks and accessories. Look beyond the counter and you will see Anthony's repair and restoration shop. It's a beautiful representation of the drum shops of yesteryear. Very old school cool!
