<<A band director brought me his own personal trombone. Said it played stuffy.
Found a nut with a short piece of string attached quite firmly lodged about
two-thirds down the upper-inner slide. He forgot to tell me that his
improvised slide cleaning tool got stuck.

Got a flute from 35 to 40 miles away and all that was needed was to have a
wire spring rehooked. (You said you can do that).

Do you want more stories?

I have equally horrific stories of bringing my instruments to "qualified"
repair people and many situations where band directors and clarinet teachers
have repaired my instrument and have even improved on my intruments. I don't
think that generalizations can be made either way. Janis
