Instrument Maintenance

My Project

I was fortunate to have a clarinet donated to my band program. The majority of my students borrow an instrument from the school inventory. I never turn away instrument donations, however, sometimes the instruments need a little TLC before I can give them to a student.

This donated clarinet needs a total re-pad.

If a clarinet has pads that are falling apart or missing, the instrument won't make sound properly. This instrument needs to have all the pads replaced in order for it to work properly. Once the pads are replaced the instrument will make beautiful music.

I also have a flute that needs a few adjustments in order to work perfectly.

With your help we can add new clarinet and flute students to the band program.
