Kelly Abraham posted to Jim from Alaska, looking for a repair person:

<<<What about Vancouver, BC Canada? Morrie Backun is
still a member of this list, I believe (I don't know
any more about his work personally, but Audrey Travis,
another Klarinet list member, swears by his handmade
barrels!)

Here is his contact info that was posted to the
Klarinet list some time ago.

Morrie S. Backun
Backun Musical Services
3612 East Hastings Street
Vancouver, BC
Canada V5K2A9
Phone (604)2055770 Fax (604)2055775
E-Mail MBack@-----.com>>>

Unlike Kelly, I *do* know about Morrie's work personally - he overhauled my
1961 R-13A and my 1973 R-13 Bb this fall. His work is fantastic. If you do
what I did on the Bb - get the full-boat overhaul with Valentino pads, plus
silver-plating - you will be happy indeed.
