Tom Jarvis Tools

I used to play the French Horn (badly) at school, so it was a delight to see Tom Jarvis’s work at the RCA shows last week. Evidently a designer with a love for the orchestra.

His winning project, Tools To Service An Orchestra, is a series of stunningly intricate yet straight-forward tools to aid the dismantling of jammed trombones and the like: “really this project is about empowering musicians to repair their own instruments, without being reliant on a repair service, which are often very expensive and require a lot of time,” he says.
