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.

I found myself in Los Angeles over spring break. Aside from visiting as many music stores as possible, I took a short trip down to Anaheim for a tour of the Kanstul factory. I was able to meet Zig Kanstul and received a wonderful tour by Charles in sales and marketing. Other highlights include a trip to The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens as well as a stop by Robb Stewart's Brass Instrument Shop.
