Re: Grenadilla quality

Dave you mention epoxy as the binder for the grenadilla. Realizing there are acrylic blended/modified epoxies (think commercial paint from Benjamin Moore), I wonder if what Buffet isn't using isn't more a poly vinyl concoction.
It's a moot point, epoxy sounds tougher and makes for a better marketing campaign.
I mention all this to express perhaps Ridenour should bring to market a super high end rubber horn. Silver keys, Eaton (sp?) action, LH Eb/Ab, rose gold post. "The Ridenour Rodéo"...Ok, the name could use some work. It kinda sounds 'boutique' and not his thing. But it would move him into a higher $$$ market. And the end consumer would feel they received something special, not just utilitarian.
