Re: My compliments to Tom Ridenour

I would just like to "second" everything Brenda just said about Tom. When I picked out my Concertos at LeBlanc, Tom welcomed me at the door, gave me a personal tour of the Kenosha, WI facility, introduced me to Vito P and Leon LeBlanc (who was visiting from France) and then provided me clarinets (new, off-the-line Concertos) and his own office for play testing. And then, after I had selected each clarinet--Bb and A--he went over and above the "line of duty" offering to do "professional work" on each instrument undercutting tone holes and adjusting key action until they were as "in tune" and even as possible--optimum playing condition. He then offered to take me out to lunch, but both times I had to decline. A true treasure and friend to our clarinetists community. LeBlanc just doesn't seem to be the same without him..........
