(Edit, December 2015. Waitlist was opened for a while and is now closed again until 2017 at least. That was fast! But since I work slow, it doesn’t take a whole lot to keep me busy. Read on though, because the majority of this post talks about a change in my repair philosophy and …
Short version: We’ve moved! Still living just outside Durham, NC. Long version: We made it! I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say that you have to move house (and Airstream-based saxophone repair business) in North Carolina, follow my advice and don’t do it the day after 8 inches of snow …
