To which i reply:

"Aw, shucks (blush)..."

And will add that my time spent with Walter was very enjoyable and
productive. I came away with another mouthpiece that shines (figuratively;
there is no radioactive material in it actually). I now have two
mouthpieces which suit me wonderfully well. I used the new one in a
clarinet quartet last night and am tremendously pleased with the sound it
allows me to acheive, as well as the control i easily have with it.

And he had a barrel that tamed the wide 12ths in my A clarinet. I'm just
waiting for him to duplicate it for me...
