Greetings, and a little introduction!

Howdy folks!  I've set up this blog as a way to share some of the fantastic musical instruments that I get to work on.
I've been dabbling in fixing musical instruments for years, starting with my own drums and then with other people's drums while I worked at TradeUp Music in Portland Oregon for 6 years.  During that time I also started doing minor repairs on horns, and after moving around the country a bit and managing to pick up some tools and knowledge along the way, I'm now able to do more than ever!

There's a deep satisfaction that I get by restoring an old instrument that has been unused for many many years.   The first air I put through an instrument after its done is really a magical moment!

At this point I really specialize in clarinets as that's what I have the most experience in and what I play the most of (besides drums).

I am able to complete basic repairs on all woodwinds, brass, and strings.  And as I continue to pick up more tools and know how I'll be able to do more and more.

As well I buy/sell horns and other musical instruments.

Its music all the time here folks!!
