I was shocked to hear this over on Facebook. I realised he'd gone off the radar, but I wasn't expecting this.

He was one of the longest standing contributors of this and the oboe and sax boards and was here when I first found this board back in the early 2000s.

As well as carrying out experiments to dispel the usual myths - he even carried out an experiment with an HW Pad Saver to see if they shed fibres by putting one in and out an alto sax 3000 times (while watching telly) and that proved less than a handful of fibres were shed, contrary to popular belief they're bad for saxes from people who haven't even used them (and I've been using them since the '80s with no problem).
