Trumpet manufacturers

Hello everybody,

I'm currently doing a report about trumpet craftsmen, and I was wondering if anybody had information about the salary and/or benefits a trumpet craftsman would make. I know that it would vary widely depending on the company, but if anybody could give me and example, estimate, or an outside source to read up on that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It might supplement your report to take a look at the craftsmanship of repairs, by comparing the cost of the same service by different repair shops.

You're likely to find you can tease out some truths.

First, you get what you pay for. Second, rent, shipping, overhead costs and time without your horn make going local vs. shopping out a job an individual choice. Implied in this 2nd point is this: it seems to me that the repair guys with GREAT reputations earn about the same at the end of the day, as do those who are GOOD. I could be wrong, but it looks that way to me.
