I think I remember reading that he died recently. It was on this list.
Might want to check the archives.
If you do a WHOIS on the domain, you can get an address of Theo Wanne.

Theo did not die, that was a rumor going around. He moved in with his mom to take care of her. I believe in California. The website will be back up was the last I heard.

If any of you paid by credit card you can invoke any number of Federal Regulations with your credit card issuer to receive a FULL (and complete) refund. It's called a chargeback - happens every day. First you have to call your credit card issuer and give a verbal complaint. Then you will need to immediately follow-up with a written complaint on a special form which is provided by the credit card issuer.
Even if much time has passed (lets just say for this discussion - less than 6 months) you can still get a refund via the chargeback route.
If you paid other than by credit card, make sure you use one next time - and just give Theo some time. We've done much business with Theo, mostly wholesale with a sprinkle of retail, and have been very pleased with Theo. His heart has always been in the right place and we've always had our $$$ matters squared away.
SO - take action or be patient as the case may be & best of luck with your "mouth-peeces".
sincerely,
mark weinstein

In a short follow-up to my last post regarding Theo...
I have recently done some work for a guy in Washington D.C. The
poor fellow dropped his horn and broke the tip off his favorite NY
Meyer... I bonded the pieces back together, and refinished his
piece and all is well in that regard.
However, my customer asked me if I knew anything about Theo??? I
told him how Theo still owes me $715 for the two mouthpieces...
Well this poor guy ordered $1500 worth of soprano mouthpieces
(attempting to try a bunch to find ONE that he liked). Got them,
tried them all and then sent them all back - for a refund. Never
got his money back. He tried to get it taken care of, and then to
his dismay - the Mouthpiece Heaven site goes down.
He's upset as I am.
Man... I would love to give Theo the benefit of the doubt, but
the man owes me over $700+ and now I find a new story... there are
no-doubt more out there.
(That I know of) Collectively he owes his customers in excess of
$2000
Are there more people out there?
What's Up Theo??? -- You have chance to make these wrongs -
right.
