Each instrument that comes my way invariably presents a new set of problems. The challenge is to eliminate mechanical problems so that one can play with the confidence that musical thought will not be interfered with. It was to this end that I recently took David Straubinger's professional flute workshop in Indianapolis to learn his approach and have received certification from him. Each person I've found over the years has a different way of doing things and I've endeavored to arrive at my own synthesis of these concepts.

Some of my past and present customers include Chico Freeman, Larry London (Berkeley Symphony), Hal Stein, Charles McNeal, Donna Viscuso, James Carter,Jay Spencer, Mary Cunningham (S.F. Sympony), Jim Grantham, Junior Walker, Jules Broussard, Herman Riley, Mary Wright, Damien Masterson, Skip Mesquite (Tower of Power) and many others not so well known perhaps but just as interesting.

This is an F key for a 62,xxx series Selmer VI Tenor Sax that I rebuilt. This is the thumb ring key that I built for a Selmer Series 10 clarinet because the original was missing. These are alterations I made for Sheldon Brown's Martin Alto Sax so he can play in tune quarter step intervals!
