Description
Roger Price has been repairing brass and woodwind instruments since 1986. He has now repaired more than 5,000 instruments, which have come from all over the UK (and a few beyond). The complexity of these repairs has varied between routine servicing to major restoration work.
To accomplish this work he has developed comprehensive workshop facilities with a wide range of specialist tools. He has been fortunate in his work as a repairer in having previously spent 22 years as a metallurgist in some of the leading British engineering companies. But it is the experience gained from those 5,000 plus repairs that counts the most. However, 'the more you know the more you know that you don't know' and the learning never stops. Roger takes every opportunity to get involved with developing new techniques, materials and networking with other repairers. Well perhaps after another 20 years there won't be too many repair surprises......but then, maybe not!
Like most repairers, Roger is a keen musician himself but he always stresses that although he repairs professionally his playing is that of an amateur. His musical interests started as a child on the piano and then having acquired an early electronic organ had his 'bohemian' period in the mid and late 60's with such mind conjuring named bands as "Sect Appeal" (Swansea based) and "Walpurgis" (Derby based).
