Harold Gomez, retired Princ.Clarinet of the National Ballet of Canada
orchestra, is currently the main teacher at the Royal Conservatory in
Toronto. I'm not aware of this product. He also at one time sold a "Gomez
tool" which sliced across the reed tip, diagonally I think, to create
more resistance!!! I'm told by pros who tried it that it worked, but
that walking onstage with such a doctored reed was not for the faint of
heart. Neat guy!
