Richard, I've never had any problems with either of the Australian importers I deal with. Do you have an account with either of them? Please contact me off...
Dear Richard, Do you want to take Geoff's offer? I can still send you the part (as we have discussed off-line). But, you'd probably will get a better product....
Karsten, Just hang on because I think that Geoff may find that the part I am after isn't available. I will let you know either way later today. I still need...

On my "one of these days" list is an idea to try to make shock absorbers for the bumpers. What do you think? Geoff. Geoff Secomb Music 65 Sibley Road Wynnum...

It was bound to happen: there are now some pads on the market (I'm sorry, but you'll have to figure out for yourself who the vendor is) that are advertised as...
If this is the guy that is also hocking sets of "screw in" brass resonators -- then, I came across this individual's website this morning as well... (before...
The website is at: http://www.pmwoodwind.com look under "accessories" - "PM Woodwind Resonators" and "Saxophone Pads" respectively. Sincerely, Karsten J....
Please note that I'm not questioning the "legitimacy" of this company (PM Woodwinds).... they may, in fact, be legit.... but, the pads in question look a bit...
That's my buddy Paul Maslin. Those are nice resonators. The pads Paul sells are the "Joey Gray" brand, which are real kangaroo. The felt in those pads is VERY...
Thanks Steve, for clearing that up. It's good to know that these are "legit". I certainly hope that nobody thought I was accusing Mr. Maslin of anything... ...
Dear Folks, In the spirit of minimizing my off-topic questions/posts to this group - I have a question: Are there other instrument-specific repair/restoration...
Karsten, If you have questions about doubling, you can always contact me. I have a great deal of experience in that area. Perhaps I can answer some questions ...
Dear Ken, Thanks for your offer of help - I really appreciate it! I don't have a lot of questions right now - I'm sure I'll have plenty as I gain more...
Karsten, I have a bit more generic response than what you're asking for, but I think it will serve you well. My double, for example, was bassoon, bass clarinet...
Thanks for the response, Ken. To clarify what I'm asking, I'll answer your questions: I'm looking at jazz that's more in-line with combo -- but, more of...
Karsten, Just to clarify, I did not mean the plastic coated Ricos, I meant the plastic reeds. But it's a non-issue based on what you say. For me, I dislike...
Karsten, Another trick to controlling the upper register on the bigger clarinets is learning to "half-hole" the left hand index-finger key. Slide your finger...
Anyone have any advice for taming a strident high C? I had a very accomplishied saxophonist in shop today picking up her sax repair. We spent an hour adjusting...
The best solution I've found is to install a "speaker key" which works in conjunction with the B pad. I can send you pictures of one I made if you will email...
This brings up a question for me... I'm sorry that I don't have enough experience to answer the question about the strident C. The question is this: What do...
