I guess this means you have 99 more to go before anyone breaks out in
hives from your instruments? ;-) Unless of course they start sawing
them in half or drilling their own holes....

Seriously though, what kind of instruments do you sell? Is there someone
else making cocobolo clarinets, orare they recorders or something else? I
play a cocobolo Rossi myself, and certainly haven't had any problems of
that kind.
