One other thing... I've known Mark Weinstein for quite a few years and have
had many very favorable business dealings with him. I have always found him
to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a perfect gentleman.
I do realize that sometimes, many of us get into trouble when we get "a
hard-on" about something and people just keep pushing us and we keep posting
about it, but I guess that's human nature.
Yes... I am familiar with the phrase, but I guess that's what I get for
being stationed at the US Naval Academy Band for 20 years! :-)
The best to all!

Hello, Stephen.
Glossing over the "small stuff", as you put it is unacceptable, IMHO. It IS
the small stuff that makes the difference between an okay shop and a good
shop. A second year student of the craft can repad a clarinet and make it
play. A 5th year journeyman can make the throat tones better. A "Master" is
the one that does all of that AND finds all of the "small stuff" that no one
else finds, and a clarinetist "feels" when they have picked up an instrument
that has been worked on by one that pays strict attention to detail.
There's no excuse for corks being missing on the trill keys. The second year
apprentice would have found that.
Sorry if I've offended anyone.

One additional note, being a starving college student, I sold my computer to
pay for that overhaul!! :)
