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.

Practice, practice, practice.
This is my work bench at the house and
my new screw board that I made
the first day of woodwind lab.

Today we moved to the woodwind side and I will begin to work on clarinets for the next eight weeks. The move is exciting but I think I am going to miss the brass side. Here is a view of my new bench.

Here it is. I finished my client trumpet (for now). Go to the Project Trumpet page to see all of the details.
