that sort of action (if you pursue it to the point where you get results) will take a lot of my time and ultimately involve me having to go to Utah to sue him...
I don't know but I'll look into it for you. I've noticed that this happens from time to time, and would speculate that there's something in the yahoo system...
I am wondering about the pros and cons of using paraffin on new neck corks and flute head corks. I was taught no to both, but I see them come in this way from...
You can melt paraffin wax on the neck then hit it with a heat gun to 'soak it in'. That works pretty well. I used to use wax but now I just work this cork...
I just got in a badly trashed Selmer tenor from a favorite customer. Not only is the body kinked, but there is some tone hole damage. The horn was in an...
This one is as bad as I've seen hey, post a picture.... Years ago, at Amro Music in Memphis, they had a bari on display that a 400 pound guy got in a bar fight...
Sorry, we're too late for pictures......I stripped it down, took the bell and bow off, and put the MASSIVE mandrel in the big vise....then, after a generous...
Steve, On thing that has helped me on these really bad dents is the oxy-propane torch. With the amount of heat that torch gives off, I can anneal one area on...
I try to do all my dent work cold, although of course, that's not always possible. I believe (although I have no research to back this up) that "spot ...
... Question for you guys. Annealing relieves stress from work hardening. It rearranges the crystalline structure of the metal to soft state. How does cryo...
In the Band Instrument repair program in Red Wing Minnesota,we have been taught to use parafin on neck and tennon corks.My instructor (Lucas Pemberton)...
Frankie, Do they also say to seal the flute head corks to keep the water out? I have been fitting them tightly dry, and have not seen rotting on the school...

I do aprx 75% school work, and it is always logistically challenging getting paid by 1/2 of them. the #1 thing that helps is constant communication with them....
For most, I get paid within two months, and have not had to send any a reminder invoice. But always the best policy for musicians is that given by Billy Vera ...
I'm surprised to hear that you (plural) are having a hard time getting paid by schools. I have about half-a-dozen school district accounts, and I only have...
My company doesn't do ANY school work, because we couldn't get paid in a timely manner. Six months was typical, and you also had to bribe the band director 10%...
