Hey Gene,

Not a long distance move, just to a house in the Nashville area.

The Legeres are the way to go to preserve sanity over the long haul. Synthetic reeds are now so close (at least these are) to cane it doesn't really make sense to go through all the break in, moisture control, weather related vagaries nonsense anymore.

I'd say your guy for mouthpiece checking and adjustment should be Brad Behn. He's really patient (with me, and we both know that's a tall order), meticulous and will give you just enough resistance to what he thinks is a bad idea, but will do what is asked no matter what in the end.

I don't know if you ever ran into Terrina Anderson (USAB). I bought her old Richard Hawkins (R facing) that is just magical. Don't know why she was willing to sell it. But as she said, it was a non-refundable sale off eBay (she's not getting that back!).
