Re: [Hornlist] hand guards and other accessories

2004-06-18 Thread David Jewell
I have to agree as to the quality of the people. When I first encountered them several 
years ago after seeing an ad in I believe the ITG Journal, they were the most 
considerate, conversational and informative folks.  We had a several minute general 
conversation, and all I had expected was for them to get my info to mail me a catalog. 
 When I got the catalog I was immediately impressed by the care they obviously take to 
make a quality, musician informed product.  From someone who has always made my own 
handguards, [you should see the fake sheepskin one, its really comfortable!!] I would 
not hesitate to get one of theirs in a NY minute.

customer will not notice in the product per se, but will make it far easier for 
dealers to sell and order, making the hand guards, mouthpiece pouches, etc. made 
by Leather Specialties far more accessible to the consumer, in my opinion. 
Fine product, fine people.

[Hornlist] hand guards and other accessories

2004-06-16 Thread David Jewell
Hi listers - for everyone who is looking for handguards and other items, check 
leatherspecialtiesco.com, they are the ones who supply Osmun, BrassArts, Music123, 
WW&BW, BrookMays and probably most other retail outlets.  They are founded and 
operated by a trumpeter with the Atlanta Symphony, and they have a fantastic 
reputation. their guards prevent the sweat/acid problem by inserting a moisture 
barrier between the layer that touches the horn and the layer that you touch. check 
them out!!
