Tom....

I know you and I have visited about the idea that materials make all the
difference in the world, and your post here supports that idea. I just
wonder why there is so much opposition to the fact that you have
researched and developed such outstanding instruments and, in fact,
determined that materials are very important?

Would you mind commenting on the kinds of research you did regarding
selection of materials (woods, plastics, etc...) that helped you develop
the Leblanc line?

Thanks for your help!

Roger,
I can't really do that because of the relationship that Leblanc and I have
had and that information is not for me to share,..... but isn't it evident
that materials make a great difference????? To deny such a proposition here
and to affirm the obvious uniqueness of all things elsewhere (even every snow
flake is different!!!!!)
seems to me to be a real contradiction in logic. Besides, any fool can hear
it. Good grief, even different pieces of the same genre of wood vibrate and
sound differently. It's as plain as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face....
which as some of us may remember was pretty plain.
Good night Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are.
Tom
