Re: On Fixing Your Own Horn

Had an overhaul by Brannon once. Boy was that worth it. Had a couple instruments overhauled by Buffet Japan with similar results. In both cases, the instrument was gone for a couple weeks. Had some pretty indifferent work done by "the local tech" where I was at the time, and started doing my own work except when one of the first two options was available and I could go without the instrument for that long. The Ridenour video is a big help, as has been watching one or two folks who knew what they were doing. The problem is frequently standards. Top orchestra principals don't accept mistakes, and top techs don't accept the horn not being the way a top principal would expect it to be. "The local tech" quite possibly doesn't even know what that standard's like, let alone insisting on meeting it. As for becoming a tech, the town has the techs it can support, the hourly is a whole lot better at my day job, and I'd rather spend my free time playing.
