My name is Manfredo Cavallini I live in Italy Rome and my web site is:
www.clarinet.it
I excuse for non English version of the site but it is in costruction.
I am a mp "refacer" any material (crystal included) also very damaged
mp can be refaced sucessfully.

Hi All,

Just a few lines to introduce myself.  My name is Griff and I'm a 
woodwind and brass repairer from England. Very interested in saxophone 
mouthpiece design and refacing. refaced a few damaged Dukoffs and the 
customer ( a very well known player)  was amazed as he thought the 
pieces were beyond saving. (I was quite pleased too!!) 

I work mainly from home ( www.dg-music.co.uk ) and look forward to 
learning more and sharing info and making new freinds.

Regards
griff

>Hello Griff,
I too am a newbie but I confess to have been lurking around here for 
quite some time!
I have just aquired an old Selmer (London) Clarinet.It is 
inscribed "Student Console" and underneath "Foreign" s/n 343032.
I wondered if you or anyone else might be able to throw some light 
on the mpc that came with it.It is inscribed "Calteau" also the 
marks '2' and 'made in England'Any info will be appreciated.

Regards Peter

Hello Pete & Griff,
Pete, your Console is a large bore clarinet from the 50's. 
The Calteau's I used in 1958 were ivory coloured hard plastic costing
about £2 sterling then. 
I remember they came in tip openings 1/2/3 and I found them rather
close for Jazz, resulting in my first crude attempts at refacing, on a
smooth doorstep at RAF Nicosia, Cyprus.
With all the info available here, I would not recommend this approach
today.         Eddie.

Hello Eddie,

Thanks a lot for coming back so quickly with your valuable info.My 'Calteau' looks like HR but I'm a novice here! I t does seem in good condition but as a clarinettist who one day aspires to playing Jazz what sort of mpc should I be on the lookout for?

Cheers Peter

That was a fascinating story about RAF Nicosia, and I suspect that there is a lot more of a similar nature to come from there !! please tell us more.
