Hi Grant,

Pls switch me also to the one-a day list.  BTW, just bought a Woodwind  mpc
for my Leblanc  contra-alto clarinet.  Much better sound than the old mpc that
came with the instrument. Still can't get any altissimo notes, though.

It's called an Amati key. I think that's the correct spelling or else it's
Amadi. I think you can buy them from Ferree's in Battle Creek, Michigan. They
manufacture and supply band instrument repair tools and maintenance supplies.
I seem to remember Getzen was using them quite a bit, at least for a while in
the "Severinson Seventies". They may also be available from Allied Repair
Tools, although you'll have to search their catalog through your registered
NAPBIRT repair tech...they don't sell to lowly mortals with no repair
training. Won't even send you a catalog! Sometimes you can get last years copy
from your repairman, if you're tight with him/her.

Hi Paul,

You are now switched.  You'll receive a farewell message, followed by
another welcome message - these are generated automatically by the MLM
software when I unsubscribe you from the immediate format and resubscribe
you under the digest.  Nothing to worry about....

Grant
