Repairs
A flat tire fixed on your automobile can be called a 'corrective'
repair, while regular oil changes and a tune-up are 'preventative'
repairs. Band instrument repairs "work" in much the same
manner. Corrective work can fix the immediate problems of a losse
pad, stuck valve, or missing tenon cork, but we strongly encourage
the more preventative instrument repair work. Good cleaning, proper
requlation and routine pad/cork work will insure that an instrument
is in its best playing condition.
And so, just as a "tune-up" allows a check list of work
to be performed in the auto shop, a "playing condition"
noted on an instrument repair tag allows a more thorough checklist
of work completed. Tune-ups keep your car on the road and P.C.'s
(play conditions) will keep musical instruments in the player's
hands- which make Band Directors very happy indeed!
