I spent several hours cleaning the coronet. It had lots of lime, scale, and corrosion. The only part that is still stuck is the 2nd valve slide. I'll continue to work on it in my spare time, and keep you updated.
About Me

- Before deciding to become a Band Instrument Repair Tech, I studied music at Fort Hays State University (Hays, Kansas). I received my B.A. in music from them. There I studied Saxophone and Clarinet under Dr. Kristen Pisano. I also studied voice under Dr. Joe Perniciaro, and Jazz Improvisation under Brad Dawson. I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, a music fraternity, and I served as the FHSU chapter Vice President of Rituals. While in high school I earned many of my undergraduate hours at Barton County Community College. There I studied saxophone with Steven Lueth and piano with Karole Erickson. I also graduated with a diploma of Band Instrument Repair from Southeast Technical College in Red Wing, Minnesota in 2011.

I have another extra credit project! It is a conn victor coronet that was made in 1929! The mouth pipe is in rough shape. There was a mouthpiece stuck in it, and when I pulled the mouthpiece, the receiver fell off! The receiver end is bent, and has a small tear on the underside. It has a small amount of red rot as well, but I am not going to replace it. I will patch the tear, and straighten the mouth pipe.
