Dear friends, have you ever written a nice blog post, only to have it disappear when you try to publish it around noon? 😬 Gonna go write it from scratch (in a word doc first, this time). See you at 7pm 😘

Hello and Happy Monday everyone. I’ll be posting a blog post on my website soon called “Clarinet Repad: Behind The Scenes” (the title could use some work, I know). I just wanted to give customers some insight into the work I do. I can already sense my fellow technicians ready to comment on how they do things differently 😉. just kiddin’ 😘 Anyways, if you’re interested, please check my website or fb page tomorrow.

Polishing silver is always satisfying! (Even though it can be a lot of work)

I had two different models of Buffet saxophones in the shop, decided to take some side-by-side pics. Older Evette and newer 200 series.

Before-and-Afters. Because sometimes it’s nice to have proof that things go right! I hope everyone is well out there - putting in that hard work to make the day shiny.

Yesterday’s news cycle was overwhelming... grateful to have a quiet morning in the shop, cleaning saxophone keys and listening to npr.

Hello and Happy New Year! For me, the new year began in a new shop! I’ll be working from home - still doing repairs (mostly woodwinds). Thank you to everyone who supported this transition! I’ve been overwhelmed with the love and support I’ve received so far - here’s to the New Year! #2021
