I just finished thumbing through WWBW's latest woodwind catalog. I now have a major case of GAS - I can feel my credit card itching already. Thanks to all of your wise contributions to the board, I am aware of how wonderful all this stuff is, and I just have to have it. One of my favorites - ProTec's little stamper which lets the instructor stamp the template of a particular instrument right onto the student's music, and then complete with the correct fingering. I really need one of those for each instrument I teach...
And those ligatures...don't get me started.

It's funny....I've got GAS as bad as many reed players.....and yet when all's said and done I wind up going back to the same equipment I've been playing for years !

Yup - Here we go again, just when I was making some headway to reduce MY Gas accumulation, along comes an eldery [VG friend] lady wanting help to make something out of her deceased husband's OLD Martin alto sax and G M Bundy 17/7 !! wood cl. So I'm putting the A S with my consignment horns to a Tulsa MS dealer [he conducts our comm. band], and plan to buy !!! the cl if only to now have a 17/7, an 18/7, a 19/7 AND a 20/7. Looking in the mirror, I say "Why in H---" . HELP is needed, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Must be the season. I've just ordered FOUR mouthpieces to try, sale-or-return... crazy, I know, but what's to lose but the re-stock fee? :-)

It's in the genes. We're still hunters and collectors, like our ancestors many beats ago.
I comfort myself that I don't own two of a kind (one wooden, one plastic, one hard rubber, a chromed one and finally one fscked up beyond repair).
I more or less finished overhauling the chromey; I asked our Army's procurement dept about its history and it looks as if it were a one-of-a kind thing, they never officially issued ordinance instruments; and that they're buying their troops Buffet RCs nowadays (now I know where my tax money vanishes)

I was thinking about buying the Protec stamper too! It's so much more uniform and it gets annoying to draw clarinet fingerings in all the time for students.
