Dear Freinds: Without going into too much detail (I was once fortunate enough to study with Mr. Blayman at a music camp in the mid 1980s).how is Mr. Blayman these days?
His mouthpieces are now available again as well!

Serious Blayman fan,

David Dow

Hello David,

Herb is living in North Carolina now, near his daughter. As you know, he retired from making his stands and mouthpieces a little over 2 years ago.

I speak to Herb regularly. He is in his 80's now, and his health is failing somewhat. He recently lost his dear wife, which has understandably saddened him greatly. He sends everyone his best regards and wishes. You may send cards and letters to Herb c/o our address. Please address as follows:

Herb Blayman (Personal & Confidential)
c/o Blayman Music, Inc.
1000 Wyngate Parkway, Suite 220
Woodstock, GA 30189

We will make sure that he receives each and every correpondence in a timely manner.

Thank you for your inquiry, David.

Best Regards,

Randy

Woops. Since this was my first posting to this Bulletin Board, I think I may have inadvertently violated the rules. I should have read the rules BEFORE I responded to David's post.

Sorry for the plug. It won't happen again.

Sheepishly yours,

Thank you Randy for the posting. I think it is good to know Mr. Blayman is still going, he is a great influence on many players and his career in the Met is one of the most magnificent in the annals of music. I heard him perform at the met a few of times and was amazed at the magnicent expression and tone he had.

I doubt he would rember me as I only took a few lessons from him at a summer music school quite a long time ago, but many of his ideas and ideals inspired me to go on as clarinetist. Herbert Blayman is also a fine gentleman and endeared himself to many people let alone musicians.

Best Wishes

David Dow

David,

You are right, indeed. Since I have assumed the helm of the company, I have been overwhelmed with comments such as yours. It is an honor to carry on his name and tradition. He has friends and well-wishers from literally around the world.

Best regards,

Randy
