m1964,

Agreed. However, the point I was trying to make though was that should you acquire a vintage instrument that is in need of restoration or a major repair, a good repair person is necessary. But instead, I did not write a particularly good sentence.

Over the years, I have seen several situations where an instrument part, screw, or other component was missing. It's amazing to see a skilled tech use his or her skills in dealing with that situation; fabrication is often required.

A young tech I know has become a real artist in clarinet repair. I asked her once how she got interested in the craft (she has a master's degree in clarinet performance and plays extremely well). She said "my father was a tool & die guy in the automotive industry for over 30 years. And my grandfather before him. I was always taking stuff apart and putting it back together."
