Yes, Don, in OKC (work), Edmond (home). Are you coming to ClarinetWeek @ OCU? Ashkenazy (sp) is giviing a Lecture/Master Class and so is Tom Ridenhour. I believe it is free to public. Do you have a fax machine, if so I will fax the flyer that OCU put out on ClarinetWeek tomorrow. (in a former life I had a scanner here @ the office, but in that former life I didn't have a teenager that used it!).
Back to the subject @ hand, I have tried contacting Rabco/G. Crossman @ the telephone numbers in FL. I was hoping somebody would say that this company *IS* still alive & kicking.
Thanks for any help/guidance.

Mark, I did a bit of patent searching via USPTO.gov and www.delphion.com [IBM] and all I found was US 5,241,793 to Ben N Armato, 17 Sherbrooke Rd, Hartsdale, NY,10530, so believe this must be it. I do recall seeing ?an ad? on it in the ICA "Clarinet" recently and will look for it. Will look in what catalogs I have also. When is the Clar Week? I might be able to make it, and would like to meet and hear and learn. No fax, dern it! Much fun, Don

Is Reedual different from ReedWizard? ReedWizard by Ben Armato is a Sneezy sponsor.

Thanx, Bill, it looks like more research is needed. [ICA and WW&BW and Weiner etc] . If any readers know, please post it. Don

Here's the info you need:
George Crossman
(954) 776-0475
238 Corsair Ave
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308
and Reedual and Reed Wizard are different products.
Hope this helps
Jonathan

I have been trying that number for days now. No answer yet. Phone is answered by a recording & the recorded voice doesn't identify the number which has been reached. Do you know specifically that this is the company and that they are still in business? I (believe that I) got the info from the same place you did here on Sneezy, in the Resources section. Thanks. : - ) mw

Don, sorry I failed to respond properly earlier --- YES, *OU* is great !
Not only for ClarinetFest's ... but also for Football!
BUT, I have to say, as much as I enjoyed OU's win on Saturday, nothing comes close to this past July, 2000 when ClarinetFest was rockin' in Norman,OK. WOW!

Dear William,

Yes, George Crossman, lives. In fact, from the sound of things he thrives. I am now on a waiting list (provided he receives my payment-in-advance). I received ab email today from Cahrles Bay, He has a Reed Machine while whill be entering the market very soon. No sandpaper, it uses diamonds. I am sure we will all hear more about it later.
