I attended the Ferree's woodwind clinic in Battle Creek Michigan. The
woodwind clinic covers: 1) Analyzing and avoiding problems, 2) Dent
removal in metal parts, 3) How to Straighten bodies, rods and keys, 4)
Proper pad installation techniques, 5) Cork replacement, on keys and
tenon joints, 6) Key openings and actions, 7) Leveling and "seating"
of pads for an airtight seal. The class also ventured into metal tenon
fitting; both flute and saxophone.
This trip is an example of my continuing commitment to the pursuit of
excellence in the repair of woodwinds.
