5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to band instrument repair.
This little book provides a very helpful overview of many aspects of brass and woodwind repair. There are chapters dealing with clarinets, flutes, trumpets and trombones, as well as references to many other instruments.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK--but limited
Practical suggestions for the school music teacher. The limited information about the saxophone is, I think, the weakest aspect of the text.

This book obviously can't cover every aspect of instrument repair, but it does an excellent job of providing useful information and describing, in detail, practical repair techniques for the areas it does cover. The author knows how to write well, also.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buying after borrowing, January 8, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Instrument Repair for the Music Teacher (Paperback)
I'm buying a copy of this book after returning the library copy. The writing is clear and easy to understand. Common problems (example: middle valve sticking on a trumpet) are identified and covered, simplifying diagnosis.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kinda outdated, January 31, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Instrument Repair for the Music Teacher (Paperback)
Not real user friendly. I would probably not have bought it if I had known. Looks like the pages were done on a cheap copy machine. Not happy with the product really.

This review is from: Instrument Repair for the Music Teacher (Paperback)
Not being a music teacher, I don't really know the names of each instrument parts. Reading through this book I noticed that one must know the technical names of all the musical instrument parts.

More illustrations would have been very useful, whether they are pictures or drawings.

Conclusion: if you can find online instrument part schematics, it would greatly help.
