Woodwind Bench
Home Up

The Woodwind Bench; a select group of tools for the FIRST Reed Repairman.

     To be competitive in the band instrument repair field, you have to have the tools to do the job.  As in sales, where, "You can't sell from an empty wagon!"; in repair, you must, "Be equipped to do the job!".  Cliff now makes it easier for you to become a "Complete Repairman", with these great "Shop Expansion Deals".

      Prices on tools on this page were current  on September 1, 2004.  Many items may have changed since then.  Tools will be billed at the price in effect the day of sale.  An updated Price list page link is on the Home page.

      I will try to put these tools in alphabetical order,
by part number.  This will make it a little easier to price.
     There are some things you need more than one of and they are so marked.  You may add or delete from this list, as you wish.
     Just print the whole page and take your marking pen to it; for your own special modifications.  Not every tool is listed, just my favorite tools to use and/or be used most of the time based on the way I teach it.
     Tools are NOT listed in order of importance, or a N99A Bench motor
and X100 Pad oven, WOULD BE Absolute FIRST!
