Hi everybody, I just spoke with Alan Bland who is the sales manager for Prestini in Nogalaes, AZ, and he is looking for experienced clarinet repairpersons to evaluate their new line of student clarinets at no cost to the people doing the evaluation.
So if any of you who have several to many years of repair experience are interested in doing an honest, thorough evaluation of their new student clarinet, please call Alan at 1-800-528-6569 ext 105.
He will ask you for your credit card number only as security and no charge will be placed against your card.
They are also coming out with their own line of reeds and are willing to send samples to those who request them.
To Mark: I don't believe this falls under the no self-promotion rule, but if you feel it's improper, please delete this post and accept my appology. I have no affiliation with the Prestini company whatsoever.

"at no cost to the people doing the evaluation." 
Shouldn't Prestini be paying the people doing the evaluations for them? The resulting evaluations are for Prestini's purposes.

Don't count on me to burn up the phone lines. I've done two evaluations for other companies before (Yamaha/Armstrong) <b> at no charge or even given a credit card number</b>. I was contacted beforehand asking if I would be willing to participate and that was the end of it. I even received a "free gift", a very nice ballpoint actually, from Armstrong when I did their flute evaluation.

To jbutler: Thank you for your posting. Perhaps I misconstrued how they wanted their evaluations done or if I understood correctly, perhaps, the sales manager was new and didn't know how to go about it in an "acceptable" or "appropriate" manner. I shall be in contact with Alan for further clarifications.
I, for one, will be evaluating their instrument...simply because I'm curious as to what they have.
My thanks to all for your inputs.
Dan
