Hi Andy,

I don't know if you got the message I sent you (I'm not sure if I sent it properly). Anyhow, Aaron Drake custom made me a bari piece for my 12M. I was having some issues with my other Drake on the Conn. This new piece is really great on the Conn...kind of like an Open Link but less stuffy, more responsive and reed friendly! All the best.

Hi, I saw a post where you mentioned being across the river from Teaneck, so I'm guessing Hackensack. I'm just up the river in Westwood, NJ. My teacher is Artie Bressler, are you familiar with him?
