Restoration / Repair

Author: JennyP

I've found that I'm becoming very interested in clarinet repair / restoration over the last several months. I'm an advanced clarinet player, was a music major in college and all that, but several years later have ended up with a career in accounting.
I'm wondering what options I have for learning more about repair and restoration? I've been making my way through the JL Smith book on servicing the clarinet, which has been extremely helpful and informative. Does anyone have any other book recommendations, or know of any learning opportunities that might be available to someone who has a full time day job?
I actually got an old Normandy Special clarinet off of Craigslist that's in pretty bad shape as a way to get some hands on experience. Best case scenario, I'll end up with a playable student clarinet that I can use for marching band instruction. Worst case scenario, I'll learn what not to do when restoring an old clarinet...
