Bob Scott Lansing's pride

This is the first time I have heard Scotty referred to as "C. Robert Scott," but then, I do live in the Lansing area and I have known him for years. Occaisionally, I've played clarinet in a pick-up woodwind quartet with him (he usually plays oboe) and we'll run through some chamber music.

He is known throughout the country for his repair work and although I haven't personally purchased a barrel or mouthpiece from him, I have known many people who have tried one of his barrels and have found them to be preferable to what they had before.

He has been repairing instruments since some time in the 1950's and has been self-employed in this capacity since 1963. At present, he is in his 70's, but still continues his practice. They did a nice one-page piece on him in the local paper a year ago, which I kept of course.
