Drucker equipment information:
Mouthpiece: Chedeville/Lelandais - originally faced by Matson. He told me that he has 4 back-up copies which were specially made for him in Paris by Vandoren. They are close to the original, but not quite the same. He said he has tried practically every type/brand of mouthpiece available, past and present, many he said are no better "than doorstops".
Reeds: Vandoren V12 #4. He used to play traditional blue box Vandorens, but with the decline in cane quality these are now too "mushy". He says that the thicker V12 gives him the feel of the older traditional blue box Vandorens.
Ligature: Standard metal 2 screw regular (not inverted). Placed very low on the mouthpiece.
Repair techs: Jimmy Yan, Marc Jacobi, Tomoji Hirakata ...GBK
