24.5/ 100
1 Share of the musical instrument technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wind musical instrument maker profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A musical instrument technician role treats 8 of its required skills as things a wind musical instrument maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assemble musical instrument parts
- identify customer's needs
- maintain musical instruments
- musical instruments
- musical instruments materials
- repair musical instruments
What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A musical instrument technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wind musical instrument maker background worth leading with.
- already held tuning techniques arts and humanities
- already held woodturning engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held assemble musical instrument parts handling and moving
- already held musical instruments materials arts and humanities
- already held restore musical instruments handling and moving
- already held create musical instrument parts handling and moving
All 24 carried skills, including the 8 the musical instrument technician role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 5 missing skills fall into 3 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held tune keyboard music instruments required
- required, not held tune stringed musical instruments required
- optional, not held play musical instruments optional
- required, not held prevent technical problems of musical instruments required
- required, not held rewire electronic musical instruments required
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a musical instrument technician role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 prevent technical problems of musical instruments skill · sector specific
- 02 rewire electronic musical instruments skill · cross sector
- 03 tune keyboard music instruments skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
