Emilio is still there. I was there mouthpiece shopping last weekend and this guy was tweaking a clarinet and then wailing away, fingers flying across the keys. My friend who was helping me shop looked at me and said "oh, there's Emilio!"

She also recommends Albert Alphin, he's outside of Boston somewhere, Needham perhaps?

I live in Boxborough, about 30+ miles outside of Boston, and would probably go to either of those.
