FWIW, Daniel is the proprietor of "Wood, Wind and Reed", 11 Homerton
St., Cambridge (he wittily avoids being in the telephone directory).

He's a wonderful resource to have around the town: not only does he
offer a comprehensive repair service, but he also acts as agent for
acquiring all sorts of new and used instruments, not just those
(excellent) ones he makes himself.
