Frank Campbell
The man behind Campbell's repairs is Frank Campbell (pictured right - at work in our workshop repairing an alto sax)

Frank studied musical instrument technology at Stevenson College in Edinburgh, first completing a national certificate in orchestral instrument repair, then on to a Higher National Diploma.

During this additional two years he chose to specialise in brass and woodwind instrument technology (included modules in musical instrument technology and the physics of sound).

In his spare time, Frank enjoys making music with his friends, but usually prefers to play blues guitar!

Where We Are
Our address is -

    Delta Studios (Unit D2)
    Lochlands Business Park
    Larbert, Falkirk
    FK5 3NS

    Tel: 01324 552088

Coming by road, the easiest way to find us is to head west from the town centre and follow the signs for Camelon. As you approach the centre of Camelon you'll see the Mariner Leisure Centre on your right. At the roundabout beside the centre turn right, taking the exit for Larbert and Stirling. Head down the road driving under the railway bridge - about half a mile past the bridge, the main road turns sharply to the right - but at this point go straight on and you're in Lochlands Business Park (it's signposted anyway!). Unit D2 is one of the new units you will see on the left side of the road - take the second entrance which is just past unit C.
