Hi, Ed --

Interesting to see you note that "Fort Mac" is only 400 miles away.

My feeling is that no band instrument repair program is offered via a correspondence course ... there is simply too much "hands-on" manipulation of the tools and metals, that the student must grasp. Most students are surprised just how physical this work is, particularly the "lower brass" instruments. I could be wrong, however ....

If you look into the program, let us know your findings.

There are only five (5) band instrument repair schools in all of North America, three (3) of which are in the Upper-MidWest USA.


Regards,
Robert Rowe
