Being surrounded by so many inspiring and enthusiastic techs has its benefits. That is why I decided to create a new page to share some of the wonderful instruments I am coming in contact with while in Red Wing. Just look under the "Other Instruments" page to see several fascinating examples of instruments that are a little less common.

Our project clarinets were due last Friday and I am really excited with how it turned out. You can see the final results on the updated Project Clarinet page.

As it turns out, oranges are good for clarinets too. Here are a few bells being moisturized by the orange peels in the bag. A few days of this and they should be back to new.

Everything is busy as usual. I just finished reading The Preservation and Use of Historical Musical Instruments by Robert Barclay, and I took the two days off from class that we had and made a tool holder for my work bench. I am still getting everything set exactly where I want it but the tool holder has all ready made me more organized and efficient while working.
