We have the Erick Brand manual. I believe that we are the only ones
besides Ferree's who sell it (we get it from them). The Erick Brand book
is basically a shop manual and covers all band instruments with a little
bit on strings.

We have two other repair manual with different slants:

A Guide to Repairing Woodwinds by Ronald Saska was developed as a text book
for a trade school or community college course.

Clarinet, Saxophone & Flute Repair Manual by Lawrence Frank is aimed at
people who want to overhaul their own instruments.

We also have Walter's book, Making Clarinet Reeds by Hand which has been
selling well.
