Announcing the first annual "ClarinetFiesta"

As many of you know, I was unable to attend the recent ClarinetFest in Orlando due to some medical problems. The good news is that I am feeling fine and being treated by excellent doctors. The bad news is that I really wanted to be at ClarinetFest.

Well, I had an idea. We could have our own "ClarinetFiesta", on this website, for those who could not get to ClarinetFest or those who went and did not find the equipment they were looking for.

To make this a real celebration, for the month of August, everything on this website will have a 10% discount!

How is this going to work?

All the prices on this website are hard coded in HTML. Making a quick change is easy and painless. However, to change the price of every single item would take at least a dozen hours of coding. Later, it would require dozen more to change them back.

So, this is what will happen. You make your selections from the website at the regular prices. When I ship the product(s) I will make a refund back to your credit card equalling 10% of what was ordered, and show it on the invoice and statement.

You can, of course, call on the phone, and I will calculate and charge the discounted price immediately.

This is actually the first "sale" I have ever done. I hope it meets your needs and interests.

Trips to Buffet in Florida

As a authorized Buffet dealer, I always want to present the very best products to my customers. To do this, I periodically visit Buffet Crampon in Florida to select the very best clarinets I can find. This takes time and costs money. Why do I do it? I do it to present the best quality I possibly can.

Bass clarinet players - if you don’t have the Michael Drapkin “Symphonic Repertoire for the Bass Clarinet”, Volumes One ,Two, Three and NOW the long awaited Volume 4, you are really missing out. I wish that these excerpt books had been available when I was on the audition circuit. Every serious bass clarinet player should have them: www.bassclarinet.net

If you want clarinet music, methods, recordings, and books, try Gary Van Cott first. He is a woodwind.org sponsor and performs a valuable service for the clarinet (and entire woodwind) community. He is always a pleasure to work with. I buy all my music from him. He’s just a great guy to do business with. Here is his website: http://www.vcisinc.com/
