Introducing Our Horn Hospital Team
You may be a soloist, but you have an entire band here to support you!
Jim opened Horn Hospital, LLC in 1979. He began his career as a band instrument technician in 1976 as a student at Western Iowa College in Sioux City, Iowa. After finishing the course of study in band instrument repair, Jim took a job as a shop technician with a full-line music store in Enid, Oklahoma. After two years with this company, it was time for Jim to move back east and open Horn Hospital, LLC. When not at the shop, Jim can be found in his hangar restoring vintage airplanes.
Nick came to Horn Hospital, LLC as an apprentice in 2012 after graduating from Harrisburg Area Community College’s Music Merchandising program. He is now our saxophone and orchestral string specialist. In his free time, Nick likes to be outdoors- hiking, camping and fishing. He can also be found as a freelance saxophonist playing with jazz, blues or rock bands in the greater Harrisburg area.
Anna started her apprenticeship at Horn Hospital LLC fresh out of high school in 2018. Having successfully completed her apprenticeship, she is now our primary flute and clarinet technician.

Anna enjoys any opportunity to create something with her hands.
