John Adams

John is a professional member of the National Association of Musical Instrument Repairers – and prides himself on providing a top quality brass instrument repair service.

A poorly maintained musical instrument will not respond as well as the player would wish.  Poor maintenance may also cause long term damage and hygiene issues.

He has been playing trumpet and cornet for 51 years and during the last 20 years has taught privately, in a primary school and with youth bands.

In 2006 John and a friend established the Dundonald Community Concert Band for the purpose of giving players of all ages and abilities the opportunity to enjoy music together.  The success of this group which John conducts has been exciting with 54 players on the platform for their most recent charity concert.

John was contracted as a tutor and technical advisor to Tom Hanks’ Hollywood Production Company for the film ‘City of Ember’ – building instruments with Paul Marshall of bingbangbong.com, providing specialist instrumental services on set and coaching child actors
