Woodwind Instrument Repair Courses

Forthcoming Woodwind Instrument Repair Courses

The next woodwind instrument repair course here in Wales is scheduled for April 13th to 17th 2015. This is followed immediately by a 'Specialist' saxophone repair course on the 18th and 19th April.
I do have itineraries for both of these courses and would be happy to mail them to anyone who is interested.

Course Content

Our courses do have great appeal for any serious student wanting a short, yet intensive course, and I am very aware of the large amounts of information we expect our  students to absorb.
We constantly listen to the comments of students and use this information to update and improve our courses to the point where we believe they are the very best available.

New website

It's been five days now since I started creating my new website.
In the meantime I've had no response to my blog. This is probably due to the fact that nobody knows about it, OR it's incredibly boring; I hope not, but I do need your comments please!
I hope to do something about that soon. Maybe a mass email to my Instrument Repair contacts.

It's been a real steep learning curve, both a blog and a new website all in the space of a week.

Time to escape!

I think I might just retire to my workshop and fix a few instruments. This is at least one thing I can do well and without 'stewing' my brain!

Three heads are usually better than one, although a noisy second valve linkage on this french horn is doing its best to defy us all!


















Woodwind enquiries from Holland

It's that time of year when people begin planning their activities for the spring and summer; It's interesting, that out of 3 enquiries received for woodwind instrument repair courses this week, 2 of them are from Holland. We really do enjoy our overseas visitors, and look forward to meeting many more of them in the future.

It was snowing heavily here in Wales last night and this morning seemed an ideal time to take a walk around the village. Below are a couple of photos taken today!

Looking back at the village as we walk in a Northerly direction towards the 'Four Ashes'. The School can be seen in the top right of the picture behind the oak trees!

I do love this time of year, and especially this beautiful countryside that I am privileged to reside in. It's fairly quiet for me for the next couple of months, but it does give me the opportunity to make a few improvements around the place and to prepare for the next courses beginning with a Brass Instrument Repair course starting on March 28th.

If you are thinking of attending any of the forthcoming Woodwind or Brass Instrument Repair Courses, my advise would be to reserve your place as soon as possible.
Places are running out, and enquiries are numerous. I will publish more course information and dates here next time!

So for now,

Regards and best wishes!
