And a simple one to finish: this contrabassoon crook just needed its cork gluing back into place #InstrumentRepair

Next on the #InstrumentRepair bench was this strange object, which needed two new striking balls. Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but it's cheaper than buying a new one #Percussion

The bigger they are, the more likely they are to split when somebody drops them.
The rounder they are, the harder they are to clamp!

Cheeky bit of #InstrumentRepair in the workshop at work. This is going to be a new bracket for a set of crotales

I finally had a chance to glue up that #mandola from one of my earliest posts! I'll probably clean it up and string it up tomorrow.

Side note: I always think these clamps look like some weird rhinoceros.
