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.

We have been working with French Horns in class and today I was able to spend some time with several different examples. They include Single Horns in both Bb and F, Compensating Horn, Double Horn: both Geyer and Kruspe wraps, a Schmidt Horn, a Natural Horn, and an Italian horn with five valves.
