<<As I state in the link, I do not believe that the mthpcs produced after Mr.
Aiello left LeBlanc in 1983 were of nearly that quality. Something
changed...and not for the better IMO. They seem to remain that way in their
present
incarnation.>>

Few people remember Elmer Aiello anymore. When we lost him, we lost a huge
reservoir of knowledge and experience. He gave me my first lessons in
mouthpiece
work. I still remember verbatim some of the things he taught me.

He was a really nice man too.
