Hi all!

Do any of you know how to get ahold of Charlie Bay? I called him almost 4
years ago and ordered a mouthpiece from him after hearing a lot of good things
about them. He seemed very nice and said he'd send out 2 or 3 for me to try
in 4 weeks or so. Well, 4 months went by, and I'd gotten nothing. So I called
him back; again, he seemed very nice and apologetic, saying he'd been very
busy but I should receive them in a few months. This time, 9 or 10 months
went by and nothing. So, a year after I'd originally called, I decided I'd
better just forget about the mouthpiece and stick with what I have! Phil
Muncy did tell me, incidentally, that even he cannot get any mouthpieces from
Charlie, that Charlie does his business mostly in Europe now. This was a
couple of years ago, and I've long since given up on getting this mouthpiece.
BUT, I just found this very informative clarinet newsgroup a few days ago, and
I thought one of you might be able to help me, or even tell me if it's worth
any more trouble. I wanted to try the M-O-M mouthpiece. Does anyone know
anything about it???

Thanks in advance!
