Hey folks,
For MANY years I have been interested in band instrument repair but have been stonewalled at every corner in trying to learn the trade. Repair techs have been pretty adamant on not teaching the trade, I'm not sure why. Anyway, I am now at a point that I can afford to go to school to learn. The bf and I are planning on going to WIT; however, we cannot get in until Fall 2012. So, in the mean time, I've decided to go ahead and try a few things on my own. Where does one usually start in terms of woodwind repair? Should we start on building our tool collection now? If so, where is a good place to purchase tools and supplies?
