Subj: [kl] desire mouthpiece refacing information
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1998 15:45:02 -0400

A friend of mine, that doesn't have Internet access, desires to learn more
about mouthpiece re-facing.
He (John Price) and I (Tom Skublics) are both active, freelance, woodwind
doublers in the Toronto, Canada area.

1) John is specifically searching for info on "Claude Humber".
Apparently John dealt with him approximately 20 years ago and at that time
Claude
was in Dallas and refaced sax mouthpieces for all the "heavies" of the day.
Apparently there was also a book/pamphlet that Humber published on clarinet
and sax
mouthpiece re-facing and there was an accompanying "list of facings".
Anyone that knows what happened to Claude, or can help locate a copy of the
book or list please reply.

2) John also has a book about mouthpiece refacing by Eric Brand. But
apparently there is
also an accompanying "list of facings" that he would like to acquire.
Thanks for any info on this.

3) Anyone that would be interested in generally helping John with sax
mouthpiece re-facing
or discussing refacing in general please
reply and I will connect you directly to John.

Please e-mail any replies directly to: skublics@-----.net

THANK-YOU
