Web: http://naylors-woodwind-repair.comLarry Naylor began a professional music career at a young age and has been at it for 47 years as a woodwind specialist. Realizing, in high school, that one must be a little crazy to rely completely on music performance as a career in our society, his first four years of college focused on pre medical studies with an emphasis in the physical sciences. As an Air Force Bandsman during the Viet Nam era, he realized that music was his life. He served for four years in bands on the West and East coasts and Hawaii. Earning a B.A. in music and a M.M. in woodwind pedagogy, he taught instrument repair classes, workshops for band directors, applied saxophone, and woodwind doubling at the University of Colorado at Boulder for over 8 years. He has also given workshops for the Lamont School of Music and VanderCook College. He has presented repair clinics for NAPBIRT’s national conventions (National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians). He presented a technical clinic for ICA’s ClarinetFest ’97 in which he offered his on-going research in the maintenance and restoration of grenadilla and rosewood instruments. He is a published author in technical journals including NAPBIRT’s TechniCom. Because of his work with his professional society, he functions as a master clinician and a reference repair technician specializing in woodwinds. His approach to instrument repair developed from his experiences as a precision machinist in tool and die for the Boeing Company, a cabinet maker, and his training and experience in the physical sciences and music performance.

Website: www.ovingtonviolins.comAbout_Yourself: Geoffrey Ovington began making instruments in 1973 with the guidance of Gustavo Alvarelli and James Coggin. Working with a Manhattan based dealer and restorer advanced his acquaintance with fine Italian, French and English instruments and with classic French bows.
The shop is now located in the Adirondack foothills north of New York City. Violins from his bench have found homes in venues as diverse as the Austrian Radio Orchestra to the Bennington String Quartet. An Ovington violin was awarded a Silver Medal at the International Competition of the Violin Society of America at Oakland in 1994.
In addition to commissioned instruments, violins bearing the label "G. Ovington e suoi alumni" can be purchased at a price which is realistic for the conservatory student. The wood used is well seasoned and from the same European source as all instruments from the shop.

Web: http://naylors-woodwind-repair.comLarry Naylor began a professional music career at a young age and has been at it for 47 years as a woodwind specialist. Realizing, in high school, that one must be a little crazy to rely completely on music performance as a career in our society, his first four years of college focused on pre medical studies with an emphasis in the physical sciences. As an Air Force Bandsman during the Viet Nam era, he realized that music was his life. He served for four years in bands on the West and East coasts and Hawaii. Earning a B.A. in music and a M.M. in woodwind pedagogy, he taught instrument repair classes, workshops for band directors, applied saxophone, and woodwind doubling at the University of Colorado at Boulder for over 8 years. He has also given workshops for the Lamont School of Music and VanderCook College. He has presented repair clinics for NAPBIRT’s national conventions (National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians). He presented a technical clinic for ICA’s ClarinetFest ’97 in which he offered his on-going research in the maintenance and restoration of grenadilla and rosewood instruments. He is a published author in technical journals including NAPBIRT’s TechniCom. Because of his work with his professional society, he functions as a master clinician and a reference repair technician specializing in woodwinds. His approach to instrument repair developed from his experiences as a precision machinist in tool and die for the Boeing Company, a cabinet maker, and his training and experience in the physical sciences and music performance.

Email: michael@woodwind-repair.comAfter being a high school band director for five years, I hung up my baton to do other things. Right now I manage the musical part of Nieman's Music and Floral in Sandpoint, Idaho. It is here I give private lessons after school and repair band instruments with two themes: if it ain't broke don't fix it; and get it back into the student's hands ASAP--overnight whenever possible. In my spare time I play tenor sax and clarinet in the Swing Street Big Band.

Working with a Manhattan based dealer and restorer advanced his acquaintance with fine Italian, French and English instruments and with classic French bows.
The shop is now located in the Adirondack foothills north of New York City. Violins from his bench have found homes in venues as diverse as the Austrian Radio Orchestra to the Bennington String Quartet. An Ovington violin was awarded a Silver Medal at the International Competition of the Violin Society of America at Oakland in 1994.
In addition to commissioned instruments, violins bearing the label "G. Ovington e suoi alumni" can be purchased at a price which is realistic for the conservatory student. The wood used is well seasoned and from the same European source as all instruments from the shop.

Email: houghton.horns@verizon.netAbout_Yourself: I am a hornist originally from Southern California. My college teachers were Fred Fox and James Decker. Further study included one year at the Northwest German Music Academy with Michael Holtzel, and post graduate work with Bill Scharnberg at UNT. Professional playing experience includes Principal Horn in Cali, Colombia; extra horn with the State Opera Theater in Detmold, Germany (while at the music academy) and various free-lance orchestra and church work in California and Texas. I'm presently Principal Horn with the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra - Wichita Falls, TX.
I have nineteen years experience in brass repair. I specialize in French horn repair and custom work. My customers include members of the Dallas and Ft. Worth Symphonies. Dent removal, chemical cleaning, valve adjustment and solder repairs are of the highest quality. I do valve re-building, restoration of historic instruments and screwbell conversions. I've now developed my own line of custom mouthpipes and horn bells. I've helped many university and conservatory students with resonance enhancements, mouthpipe upgrades, and customizations. My passion is to develop a superior American double horn for the serious player. If I can be of help in improving your instrument, please call or contact me by email:
