Broken Winds Repair

Quick fix on a LaMarque oboe C-D trill linkage. Not my most beautiful work, but fabricated within a reasonable time-frame and completed within deadline! Actually, was pretty apprehensive to even post this, as it’s not perfect… but neither is this very old instrument that needs more than it is worth. (For techniques classes at UI. I’ll post some nicer work soon :)

Fabricated a neck brace a while back…
These photos are prior to some more dentwork on the neck where it creased from being pulled down. And silly me forgot to take one more photo of the totally finished product, but here it is.

Cracked C Clarinet bell extension. Funday Sunday! I wish I had taken a “before” picture of the crack caused by improper fit. If you check the “after” photo you’ll see the weak point above the vent.
Carbon fiber banded, removed some inner diameter to fit, and good to go!
Be sure and check with your tech when ordering custom parts for your instrument 🙂
