I have an F. E. Old's Opera horn in need of some TLC. The bell has a twist/crinkle and a spit valve is AWOL. and a good going over to make sure its playable. If the horn wasn't rare I wouldn't bother but the Opera model is NOT a common one. so Value is near $1000.... well worth dropping $4-500 to get it back in some kind of shape So do you still repair brass instruments???

I enjoy being around other repair techs. I met a sax repairman in Berkeley this summer and it was fun to connect. When I did it, it was my identity and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. In retrospect, it was a job I loved. I loved connecting with the music scene and working with my hands... but I don't have a desire to do it again. With my tremor, I don't think I could do the really delicate piccolo work anymore. You know I don’t really. I enjoy being around other repair techs.
