They don't have online catalogues or anything cool like that, but I've
included the URL for the whole company, since they're in more than one
place around the New York area. This is not an "official" site; so I can't
vouch for the 100% accuracy of the phone numbers.

I also added the URL for Roberto's on West 46th Street. They do mail order
business, too, and have a really interesting site, including links to
several jazz clubs in the City. They also have a catalogue of sorts you
can call for. Very helpful, good prices, and no BS. A lot of good used
stuff: he even has what I think is one of Stanley Drucker's former
mouthpieces. YOU TOO can play a wooden Pomarico and sound just like
Stanley!:-) Warning: they do not allow returns on accessories. You buy a
mouthpiece, even new, you better love it.

Nobody's giving me kickbacks for the free advertising. Damn. I was all
set to ask for that Honduran rosewood Symphonie VII....

"The East River. But it was not a river at all. Merely a column of water
connecting the upper harbor to the Sound. Yet everyone called it a river.
They chose not to think about it. They clung to the surface of things."
