     The New P88 Tubing True Series slide mandrels are now ready.  These NEW mandrels are only $37.50 each and provide for even better results when used with the well proven N87A trombone pliers. 
     There are 34 sizes at present, from .440" thru .605".  These NEW, centerless ground, hand finished, hard steel, precision slide mandrels are graduated in .005" steps, so you can decrease the fit tolerance by about 3 times normal, making for a much more precision fit job.
     All you need in addition, is the longer P88L handles ($67.50+s/h) to hold the mandrels with for the proper work attitude for trombones.  Also available, are the shorter P88S handles ($49.50+s/h) for working with tuning slide tubing.
     We also have the P88P package, a set of 10 mandrels to fit the most common brands of student model style trombones for only $337.50 -OR- with the P88T package you may choose YOUR choice of ANY 10 mandrels you want, also for $337.50.  This way you can make up your own set of mandrels to fit the brands and/or models you normally sell and repair.
     I can tell you that one particular size fits 16 different models.  Some fit 8, 9, 11 or 13 different slides.  A total of only about 10 or 12 mandrels are needed to fit most all of the brands of student models that one usually works on.  You can order the mandrels one at a time or in a package.
     Remember, it takes one for the inner slide and one for the outer slide.  But, most of the time, you only need the one for the outer slide, so maybe 5 or 6 total.

     The New D31 Hollow hinge tube shortening set with replaceable pilots graduated in .005" steps is also ready.  They are efficiently designed and smooth working with a precision ground cutter, which does NOT require 2 blades to do only ONE job.
              At the relatively modest price of just $199.50.

    OuR HistorY

                                        
          Known as, "Ferree's Band Instrument Tools & Supplies, Inc." until January of 1984, this family concern has grown to have a great worldwide presence by making the job of Repairman easier and more efficient through research, creativity and development.
          The company grew out of the repair business Clifford Ferree established in 1946 and went on to acquire the repair tool divisions of both C. G. Conn, Ltd. and G. LeBlanc Corp. in 1956.
          The first catalog was composed and printed by Barbara Ferree and then hand assembled by the family and employees in 1957.  Barb has composed every catalog thru the Green 2001 issue.  Ferree's even printed its own catalogs thru 1980.
          In 1992, Ferree's acquired the Erick Brand Corporation, which had been in the band instrument tool manufacturing business since 1935.  We continue to print the EB3, " Erick Brand Repair Manual", as well as, the REP, Ferree Repair Manual used during the, Ferree Repair School. 
          These internet pages, " www.ferreestools.com",  were added in 2001 to keep things fresh and up to date.  The website came to be, right after the 2001 green catalog went to press.  In 2003, a white addendum catalog was issued containing all the items that had built up on the web pages.
          There have been around 60 new tools developed since 2001 to make your jobs faster, easier and better, with capable, functional and durable tools.

          Clifford Maurice Ferree was born to be a Repairman and Innovator.   His father, Sam, was one of the first auto mechanics; working for Maxwell and others.  Later, in WW I, Sam repaired  Army trucks in France.  Some of that mechanical ability definitely rubbed off on Cliff, because after serving in WWII, fixing airplane machineguns and playing in the Army Air Force band, Cliff attended the Conn Repair School and then established his own repair shop in 1946, at age 23.   He built an all new concrete block building in 1957, moved to much larger facilities in 1967 and has added 5 more additions since.
          In August 1979, Cliff taught the first of many European repair courses after having successfully provided courses in the U.S. dating back to 1962.
