Jimmy Yan is probably the best known around here. He works on Ricardo's clarinets,
as well as the Druckers' and many other major players. 250 W. 54th St., Room 801.
(212) 581-9765. You'll want to call him first. Another well-reputed tech is the
Tomonori guy (or whatever his name is -- I never got his card, unfortunately) at
the Woodwind/Brasswind store on 23rd @-----. I believe he has quite a waiting
list, so you might end up waiting weeks/months before he can work on your instru-
ment. Still worth dropping by and inquiring, nonetheless.

Say hi to Chris Rohrs for me.
