BRASS AND WOODWIND REPAIRS |
|
Help Needed.
Hello, My name is Peter Windsor, I am 51 years old and have been repairing Brass and Woodwind instruments for over 30 years. Trained in UK before emigrating to NZ in 1982. I have trained 2 British technicians and one in NZ. I have had my own business for over 20 years and now semi-retired

THE PROBLEM
Tonga has many good school and church bands. Fund raising is often successful and new musical instruments are often supplied. The instruments supplied are not "set up" specifically for the Pacific Islands where no servicing/repair dept exists. Instruments at present either stay broken and playable instruments soon fail due to no maintenance. Instruments are now sent to NZ or Australia for repair often the freight cost (they are big, heavy and fragile) exceeds the cost of the repair and in many cases the value of the broken instrument!
THE SOLUTION
Tonga needs a small workshop (one bench type operation) Where all the instruments can be repaired. Tonga needs a suitable person who lives in Tonga (and preferably plays in one of the bands) Who is willing to learn general musical instrument servicing and repairs.
I am prepared to come to Tonga and train a local resident to a certain level to enable the instruments to stay in reasonable playable condition. I am prepared to do this every year from May to October starting 2011, and donate my time at no charge. I can organise the appropriate spare parts and tools required.
Cafe Tropicana has generously offered to provide a small workshop and storage space in Vavau.
WHAT WE NEED
Some one in contact with all the bands (a tutor or conductor) to co-ordinate and find the suitable apprentice. Funds to cover expenses, basic tools, range of spare parts etc. Some body or organisation to fund raise or apply for grant aid from NZ Aid or Aus Aid etc.
END RESULT
A trained Tongan capable of repairing /servicing brass and woodwind instruments up to a basic level, who can pass on this knowledge on later. This could end up supplying work/income for the trainee long term. Valuable funds used (present and past) to purchase instruments will be better utilised as the instruments will
last longer . A brass instrument should last 10-20 years! IF maintained. Wasted money on freight can be saved. More school children can learn a musical instrument as more are made playable.

NZ MARINE: The Island Cruising Association |
The Island Cruising Association

WHAT DOES THE ISLAND CRUISING ASSOCIATION DO?
The Island Cruising Association was started in the 1980’s. At that time it’s principal function was to promote
Tonga as a cruising destination for New Zealand cruising yachts.
The success of the first rallies prompted a move towards providing education as part of what the association
provided.
Over the years Island Cruising has evolved into the organisation it is today, offering a wide range of training,
practical demonstrations, on the water preparation and a wide range of back up to assist cruisers in
the South Pacific. Membership in the Island Cruising Association is NZ$45.00 per year.
TRAINING.
Three weekend courses are offered: “THE PASSAGE MAKER SEMINAR’ covering all aspects of
ocean passage making, the “ON THE WATER’ course, which is a one on one intensive look at setting
up your boat, done on your own boat and the “CRUISING PREPARATION SCHOOL” which deals
with everything else cruising.
During the lead up to the May rallies we have the “IN WATER LIFE RAFT DEMONSTRATION” done
at the Orakei Dive pools. This is an opportunity to get wet and experience a life raft from a very real perspective.
Add to all of this, one on one mentoring, general support through the association as a whole and the vast
amount of information available in books published by ICA press and the web site.
WHY JOIN A RALLY?
If you have ever sailed with Island Cruising before you will have experienced the sheer pleasure of making
your first step ashore in the South Pacific onto soft coral sand beaches fringed with gently rustling
palm trees.
If you have ever had to clear into a South Pacific country in the local port, fight the rubbish and the smell,
find the appropriate authorities, they are not all in the one place. Then you will appreciate the ease of
clearance in an Island Cruising Rally.
This year Pangaimotu Island in Tonga, Savusavu in Fiji, Oyster Island in Vanuatu and Ouvéa in the
French Loyalties have been designated official ports of entry for the Island Cruising Association Rally
Fleets. Plus Musket Cove in Fiji & The Isle of Pines in Southern New Caledonia as official departure
ports for the Rally.
Island Cruising Rally entrants receive a huge amount of advance information during the lead up to each
rally. Immediately prior to departure you will receive clearance papers for departure and arrival documents
for the destination country, information on anchorages, reef passes, local customs, events and
local attractions. Full rally briefings are held prior to the start and radio skeds are held daily during the
passages with Opua Offshore Communications who also handle our weather reporting.
Travelling with a rally also gives you a sense of community, this can be a great advantage when things
don’t go according to plan or there are breakages. In a fleet of twenty or thirty boats there is almost always
someone with the right skills to help and one may just have that spare part you are missing.
On an Island Cruising Rally there is also a lot of fun mixed in with the adventure.
