I not surprised in the least NCG. I think you could accomplish whatever you set your mind to

Thank you so much for the nice comment.

I repair woodwinds for a living. I've worked on some the most famous clarinet players in the world including overhauling Pete Fountain's clarinet. I've also done work for Christian Winther: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCGAMdTRYuk
I also do work for some, not all, of the Houston Symphony, Grand Opera, and Ballet clarinetists. Additionally I do a lot of work for the clarinet teacher at the University of Houston and former Rice University instructor and their students. I stay pretty busy. I've had clarinets shipped to me for repair from Canada, England, Ireland, France, and Taiwan. I really don't know why as I know there are great repair people in those countries, but, hey, I don't turn down money. I think I posted pictures of my guitars in another thread a long time ago so I'll not go through that process again. I've played saxophone and clarinet professionally as well as doubling on other woodwinds playing in musicals.

Saxophone love the sax. The guy who plays sax for the Hall and Oats band was killer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGciVeli_OA I especially like this version of this song by them and the sax play was great

Thanks for the entertaining link Al. Love all woodwind instruments. Probably my most favorite oldies, although clarinet was by Sir Acker Bilk, "Stranger on the shore" sorry...don't yet know how to attach links. As I said older, but beautiful.

Thanks a bunch for posting that Dave. Love that video. Can't help feeling relaxed while listening to it.

That's Charles DeChant. He played in The Average White Band as well. He backed up Bonnie Raitt a number of times . Another great saxophonist I've had the pleasure to meet is Rusty Higgins who played with Toni Tennille for a number of years.

Here's an autographed picture of Pete holding his clarinet I overhauled. I have it hanging in my home workshop. I was sent this along with a note of appreciation after doing the work.

Unless the stranger in on a Hawaiian shore

I had a Takamine Hummingbird copy back in the early 70's (law suit era) . Unfortunately it got stolen. It was a fine playing guitar and before Takamine got popular.
