Instrument Repair Tips by Rheuben Allen Repair Etiquette
How to Talk to A Repair Guy::
Talk to your repairman! Repairman are not able to guess your problems.
If you are having trouble in the lower register. Tell Him. If you can not play a harmonic G on your tenor.
Tell Him. It is important to have a good relationship with your repairman. There are two things to look for
when choosing a repairman. 1. Is of course his ability as a repairman. 2. Is can you get along with him or her.
I do not kid myself and I know you will find this hard to believe.... but...... everyone does not like me and there
are a few saxophonist that I do not like. *If the repairman will not talk to you or listen to your needs find another
repairman.
In general a good repairman will not need to tell you they are a good repairman.
