Frank Kilgard is the owner/operator of Kilgard Instrument Repair in Valdosta, GA. As a charter member of the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians (NAPBIRT) and a former regional officer, he hosted one of the first regional clinics in NAPBIRT history. He is a NAPBIRT Master Clinician and has given clinics on topics as diverse as oboe repair and fiberglass sousaphone repair. After two years of teaching, Frank went to work for Streep Music, in Cocoa, FL. In 1974, after unsuccessful attempts to turn Frank into a salesman, Mr. Streep sent him to the Leblanc Factory, in Kenosha, WI, to begin learning the repair craft. With nearly 50 years of experience, he shares his expertise with the South Georgia region and beyond.
