Interview with Vinny Giaconia Part 2

“If there is any factor in my life—that I have the ability to control—that is not under my control, then I don't have any room to complain.”

Listen to Vinny

Vinny Giaconia is the bell maker for Best American Craftsman (BAC) Instruments in Kansas City. We became friends during our band instrument repair school apprenticeship at Minnesota State College Southeast Red Wing Technical in Red Wing Minnesota.

In this entry we discuss what he does to relax, the books he loves, what he had wished he’d known about instrument repair before joining the industry, and his new found interest in boxing. For insight on the relentless pursuit of quality, a desire to always be learning, and insight into instrument manufacturing check out our interview with Vinny on your favorite podcast platform!
