<<<I believe the new bass clarinetist with Philly uses Backun products on
his bass. I myself have noticed a very anti-Backun tenor to this board. I
wonder why this is. It seems like you use his products or you think no one
should. and by You I mean the collective US.>>>

Huh? You mean the bboard, yes? The list is pretty pro-Morrie, IMHO.

Don't know about the bass person. I know that the new principal of Philly
uses tons on Morrie stuff - they're partners in a mouthpiece venture.

There's a lot of folks here in the US who willingly drive up to a *whole
different country* to see Morrie, buy his services and stuff. Count me as
one of 'em. Morrie rocks.

. . . if you don't like his stuff, why then by all means don't buy it. I
have two of his bells (love 'em), but his barrels didn't do it for me, so I
use other ones. Many people like them. (Many people like coffee ice cream,
too - must be crazy, I think, wasting good coffee.)
