Buying after borrowing

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.

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. 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.
