Meet Becky Nash – Brass Technician at Paige’s Music
We’re very excited to introduce you to the latest addition to our brass technician staff in our repair shop, Becky Nash. Learn more about her by reading our quick Q&A with her below!
Position: Brass Technician
Start Date: May 2019
Training or Education:
Bachelors in Music Education from Drake University in Des Moines, IA
Band Instrument Repair Diploma from Red Wing (Minnesota State College – Southeast)
Where are you from originally:
Pekin, IL
What instruments do you play:
Trumpet
What do you enjoy most about being a technician:
I love the variety of instruments and repairs I see. No two horns are the same, no damage is the same and it’s my job to find the solution.
What is the most unusual repair you’ve had to deal with:
Finding fuzzy mold on trumpet pistons is always fun, but I think the most interesting thing I’ve witnessed is a trombone slide that not only had a pencil shoved all the way down to the crook, but also a battery. Needless to say, the slide had to come apart. Yikes.
What is your most memorable musical experience:
In college, a group of us decided to pile in a car (a car that couldn’t go faster than 55mph without shaking) and drive the 6 hours to Chicago to watch the CSO play a Sunday matinee of the Rite of Spring. It was fantastic.

about 5 years agoCongratulations and welcome to the Paige's family. I've heard nothing but good reports about you and your work. And, you've gotta like a tech with a Kennedy tool box. Wishing you many happy years ahead.
