Instruments Repair

Before making ligatures, I worked and operated a few wind instrument repair shops. Recognized as a creative technician, I have crafted tools and modified mechanisms on several instruments. Sometimes for customers who have suffered an accident or other times simply to improve poorly designed mechanisms.

The purpose of this section is to share some of my ideas. Feel free to copy anything you may need. I will be happy to answer questions (by email) regarding the material presented here.

I still do repairs on flutes, saxes, and clarinets but on a small scale, for clients in my region, my province.

My jig for flute key cup replacement is for sale. Replacement parts are not included.

Below are pictures of some of my achievements:
1. My sax neck microphone hole patch technique
2. Addition of regulating screws on Selmer MK VI soprano sax
