Re: Seeking info on a Frank Kaspar Mouthpiece

J.J no misinformation was given. The post was about cities not cousins. The person posting asked if these were Cheds. I don't believe they are. But I did offer to take a look at them. I'm very aware that the cousin lived in Ann Arbor. I NEVER said a thing about fathers or brothers or cousins. So kindly avoid trying to start arguments. The brothers were Charles and Henri Chedeville, nothing to do with the Kaspar's.

David, I tested the Backun's with Backun watching me. One horn had a bad left hand low F/C key and I told him he should take this off of the display because it didn't work, he got mad and with his Zinner mouthpieces they were dead. When I went to try another horn with my mouthpiece Backun took the horn away from me. Actually grabbed it away. He's a mean man. He needs to stop bullying people. He had the same problem with Julian Bliss who no longer talk either. When I was testing all sorts of horns, Selmer's and even instruments from Austria. Sorry to disagree maybe the Zinner mouthpiece made his horn dead. Even Ricardo with the Philly Orchestra had issues with projection so he went to a crystal mouthpiece. Now he too had a fight with Backun and dumped him. When Ricardo auditioned for Cleveland it is no secret that the orchestra could not hear him. Mahler's 4th. So he lost the job.

Lastly I offered to help Backun fix the Zinner mouthpieces, He just walked away and didn't say a word to me. When we run into each other now we don't talk. His horns are not worth the money and if people want to support him great! So if people want me to write a book to answer a simple question I'll tell the people to write to me offline.

No my answers were correct. I told the person posting what he needed to know. Nothing more and nothing less.
