For those of you who missed my announcement on Facebook, I will be retiring and closing my business as of Dec 31, 2024. The last day to submit orders for new mouthpieces is Dec. 1, 2024.
It has been a tremendous honor to work with so many of you and I cherish all the friendships I have made, all over the world.
Thanks to all of you.

So, if we have orders we want to place by December 1st, should we do that through your website?
Your mouthpieces are just amazing, and I thank you for your significant contributions to the clarinet world! Enjoy your retirement!

Your retirement will be a great feeling for you but a real loss to the clarinet world.

Thank you for your fine work Walter. We share that first name but it wasn't just that which drew me to your mouthpieces! I have one of your 'Virtuouso' models and it was a revelation in terms of reed-friendliness compared to models I had used before.
Enjoy your retirement and know you have brought much playing success and pleasure to so many!

Walter, I bought my E-flat clarinet from you back in 2007/2008 as well as your K13*, Graber-Bloom bass and E-flat mouthpieces. You were always great to work with and I wish you nothing but the best as you start this next chapter of your life.
Godspeed and be well!

The time traveling business probably has a brighter future.

Yes, I wondered if like the family members in Back To The Future, will those mouthpieces made since then all disappear?

Congratulations, Walter, and thank you for putting my new R-13 into playing condition, for my K13 mouthpiece, and for my White Velvet bass mouthpiece.
