A Certified Musical Instrument Repair Technician has to complete a long series of tests to ensure that their repairs are reliable and correctly done. They also study how instruments work and why they break. These technicians need to be trained and certified through an educational facility or must be a certified member of a recognized association like NAPBIRT (National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians-USA/Canada) or NAMIR (National Association of Musical Instrument Repairers-UK/Europe). Apprentices don’t count! You should NEVER trust your instruments) in the hands of an uncertified technician. Ask the technician before you agree to them “fixing” your instrument(s).
