 Say what you will about Dave Guardala (and I won't, since the topic here is
equipment, not people), I bought a Guardala off a customer of mine this
morning, a "real one", not a laser trimmed, and I've got to say that the
finish work is astounding. Really to the highest possible standard. I can
see why people were so fond of these pricey little beggars.......

Steve, (and fellow mouthpiece guys),

Dave is a fine craftsman.  It takes a hell of a lot to produce and market a mouthpiece, and my hat is off to him, Phil Barone, (another super cat), Lamberson and others who have actually created something.  These guys talk the talk AND walk the  walk.

Dear Folks,
                 This brings up a question that may not belong here - but, I
figure the fine folks here would be "in the know" about this:
 
Question: Whatever happened to the supposed mess between Guardala, Barone
and the like? If you are to believe the rumors on usenet (use-less net is
more like it), and sax-wannabes on the web - there was a lot of animosity
and dirty business going on between the two. But, what are the cold, hard
facts? What's the real truth behind their apparent disappearance from the
market? I don't see much in the way of new Guardalas, Barones or Sugals
lately....
 
If you don't want to post here, and possibly stir up a hornet's nest - you
can email me privately. I'm just simply curious.
 
Thanks!
 
Sincerely,
               Karsten J. Chikuri

Dear Paul,
                Thanks for the suggestion - I had done so a couple of years
ago, exactly what you had said. But, with all the conflicting comments
posted in usenet and the WWW about the matter - it was difficult to
determine what was fact and what was fiction....
 
I knew the question wasn't entirely appropriate, and if anyone feels
offended in any way - I apologize. However, I figured that if anyone knew
the truth behind the stories - it would be someone here on this fantastic
mailing list.
 
Thanks again....
 
Sincerely,
               Karsten J. Chikuri
