see John Moses' post - they're all still current, except for Tomoji, who is no longer at that location. I believe he's now at the Yamaha artist studio on Fifth Avenue in mid-town, but I'm not sure he does repair there, unless you have a Yamaha clarinet or sax.

Hello,

I can recommend the most amazing repairman that I have ever had work done for me. He lives in New Jersey and repairs for many NY players. Contact me if you are interested.

Second the recommmendations for Jimmy Yan. After he got done going over my A (recently, and for the first time) I couldn't believe it was the same horn!

Would any of you experienced players recommend sending a clarinet to one of these techs from a significant distance in order to diagnose and repair a problem? As I reported in a previous post, I have an elusive problem which only appears during extreme heat. Two techs in this area have attempted repairs, apparently without success, and I would like to get the problem resolved. Is sending a horn long distance for repair something that people typically do?

I know that Jimmy Yan services instruments sent from a university in Hawaii, for what it's worth.

Sue:
Send the horn to Jimmy, he's the best.
Tell him what you feel is wrong. He'll find what else ails the horn himself.
He often does repairs sent from out of town.
Tell him I told you to send it, and mention my name (he'll probably charge you double...just kidding!)
Best of luck,

Thanks, John. It is obviously an elusive problem and I need the best.

I don't know whether you had read my thread on heat/humidity, but it turns out my other clarinet, sent out for repair to Boston's finest, has spent the past three or four weeks in the rep's car. Unbelievable. So Jimmy may be getting two of my horns.

I appreciate your help.
