Brendon,

I have never received a single bit of training in Musical Instrument repairs from Guitars to Saxophones, or watched a video \ youtube link to learn my job, but through dedication to ones craft and self learning, I have turned mine into a full time business.

It helped I was a trained jet engine mechanic to start with, so I approached everything as a mechanical process.

Start small grow big, I started in my shed at home many many years ago, I now run it from a commercial workshop, on average I turn 40-70 repairs a week, thats my part my apprentices also add more to our shop volume.

My wife eventually gave up her full time book keeping job to run the business with me, I have apprentices which I have taught, some who have since moved on to run their own business's

The limitation is you, a structured course helps for confidence, but not IMO needed if you can understand the basics.

I pm'd you a link to my walk through guides

Steve
