I am a clarinetist with 57 years of professional experience, not a repair technician.
However, I have never sent my own instruments for repair.
I do everything myself!
I am often asked by professional colleagues to repair their instruments.
I learned repair techniques thoroughly from a Buffet Crampon technician in my younger days.
My performance activities took me worldwide after retiring from orchestral work.
Along with my performance career, I was involved in the development of new YAMAHA products and served as an inspector for major musical instrument stores.
This is the final stretch of my clarinet journey!
I hope to be of service to those who are just starting out.
