Gary,

Just to let you (and the other list members) know, if you decide
to
take Steve up on his offer, his work will be first rate.

I recently purchased an E-flat clarinet from Steve (his personal
horn)
that he had just completely overhauled, and his work was
wonderful:
plating (silver plating on all the keys and posts), pad fitting
(no
leaks, correct pad heights), intonation (some tone hole
shimming). It
was all done very well.

(Steve -- this is a wonderful horn.)
