Question 1

How do I learn instrument repair

Accepted Answer

Instrument repair is a complicated concept to describe in words. There are so many variables and solutions to each possible problem. It is for this reason it is one of the only trades still taught in the style of an apprenticeship. You need an experienced mentor to guide you through the problem solving phase so you can apply the best techniques to repair the instrument.

Question 2

Do I need my own tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will need to own your own tools and supplies to be successful in the course.
If you are taking the online courses you will need to purchase the required tools and supplies to complete the training.  Once you are accepted into the program we will go over a tool list to determine which ones you will need.

If you will be joining our in-person course, we will supply most of the expensive tooling while you are learning. 
You do not need to bring many tools for the course if you attend in person. You will have the option to purchase class packages for the instruments as you learn to work on them. Most of the tools for the class will be provided for in person sessions.
