Ohhh, Annie! Thanks for mentioning this. I already play on one of
Walter's mouthpieces, which I've loved from the get-go - though now he's
got some newer ones out, once I've got the $$$, may give them a try just
to compare.

Anyhow, Walter! I'd like to give your new barrels a shot, if you decide
to go into the barrel business! Let us know! You DO have fans out
here! Seriously! I STILL love your mouthpiece and a companion barrel
would be just the thing if it suits.
