This blog is intended to document my time spent studying Band Instrument Repair at Minnesota State College in Red Wing, MN. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Saxophone Performance from Armstrong Atlantic State University, I decided to follow my passion, and focus on restoring antique and vintage musical instruments. As you can imagine there is no one school or program that can teach all of the different facets of such a discipline but the BIR Program is a great place to start. I intend to supplement this blog with more than just photographs of the instruments and look forward to sharing the research that I uncover along the way.

Today, Greg brought in a neat horn made by M. Jiracek & Sons. Look at the valve arrangement, they are definitely different. The link to this company's website is www.jiracek.eu/en.html. This is a Czech company that offers several interesting instruments, as well as some historical brass instruments. I can not speak to the playability of such a valve arrangement on the horn but it was definitely a joy to see.
