Ed,

I have been happily playing on one of his mouthpieces for a bit more than
a year now. He was happy to spend a lot of time discussing my interests,
and general aspects of mouthpieces with me, and sent me loads of
mouthpieces in batches, as I worked my way through deciding which one I
wanted. I will certainly use him again if I want another mouthpiece. I
don't know how things would work out for people outside of the UK, but for
those of us over here, I think his pieces are fantastic value too!

As related comments, he was originally recommended to me by Daniel
Bangham, who is generally highly regarded on the subject of the
mechanics of the instrument.

Also, Kyle Horch (probably the best classical sax player in the UK)
used him when he wanted copies made of a rather nice old mouhtpiece
belonging to a friend of mine!

Cheers,
Bernie
