     Re : Custom Alto Mouthpiece. Aug. 11, 1999.                               
                    Hi Dave ; I got the alto mouthpiece over the weekend. It
really screams. Thanks! The past two days I was working on a
recording ,for Sony, of a new young singer from Australia. His Name
is Tim Draxl. I guess he is the next Harry Conick Jr. . Peter Matz did
the charts. Wonderful. Great Big Band. Gary Foster on Alto. I  play a
reasonable amount of studio work, records and TV mostly. The movie
gigs are much tougher to get because people hold on to them. When
the new Buzz  Lightyear cartoon airs it has my oboe on the animated
video that will be released. I play second alto on Bill Watrous Big Band
recordings of the last decade, 3 of them I think. Also some work with
Broadway Singers in New York and so on. Take Care, Phil Feather.

   Re ; The Slant Signature Link.`                                                     
                Hey David....The Slant Signature Link is the best hard
rubber Link I have ever played. I just want to know, do you have
another one to customize for me? Will you expect any?

             I just got back from Andalusia Spain where I was doing a
European tour with local bands. But an unfortunate thing happened
while I was there. I got my horn, my Slant signature Tone Edge
made by you and everything stolen in my hotel room. This is a real
emergency. I have a couple of other mouthpieces, but nothing like the
slant you did up for me. That was the Best piece. Please find another
one and do the works on it.       Thank you.

             Love my new metal Otto Link N.Y. mouthpiece! By the way, how much do you charge to replate a bari
sax metal mouthpiece?

                       Hi, Good news, the mouthpiece came today to my surprise, didn't expect it till mon. or Tues. . You
were right. This piece is very free blowing up and down the horn and has plenty of volume when needed and can be
husky in the low end and not thin on the high end. I can bend noted as if it were a much bigger tip opening. I;'ll give
it a workout Mon. night with one big band and Tues. night with another. This cuts through much better than my #9
Link STM. I am happy how things worked out. Thanks again.

                      I don't know how to thank you for making me the perfect mouthpiece.I wanted it to be easy
blowing and  it's incredible how easy it is to play.I don't have to over-blow to brighten my sound, and it plays
velvety smooth at the bottom of the horn, which to me is the most important part of the horn. IT IS TRULY THE
BEST MOUHTPIECE I HAVE EVER PLAYED. For the record I played Ponzol's, Berg Larsen's, Bari's and one of
the most expensive production mouthpieces on the market, the Jody Jazz DV. None even come close to the
playability of your custom. You can quote that and take it to the bank. Again David, thank you so much. My search
is over. I'll want another to match it and one for my soprano when I can afford it. I've been playing a Jody Jazz on
my soprano too, but after playing your tenor piece I want to try your soprano piece too. Take care and have an
excellent weekend.   William Bua.

                       I saw one of your modified Link N.Y. Super Tone Masters on an archive off Ebay. Would have
loved to snag that beauty! Can you give me a quote to take an Otto Link metal 5* N.Y. model and open it up, fix the
rails, table, baffle etc. .It will be for a talented 7th grader playing a beat up 1960's Conn 10M. Not to bright. we
want to rtain the traditional Link sound and blend with his brother who plays a 1935 CONN 6m with a rich dark
sound. Thanks, Tom Bliss.

            David Jary ! You are a man of your word. This is not a mouthpiece. It is an heirloom. I didn't really
believe it would be this good. I thought you were doing the used car salesman thing. I put a glowing
recommendation on Ebay and if I get to Queensbury I'll try to drop by. Appreciation, Skip Gailes.

                       Dave, I know a  trombone player by the name of Bill Palmer from your area in New York. We
were in the original Commodores together. He is probably now retired from the Disney World Band in Orlando
Fla. . Do you know him by any chance?  I just recorded a CD with my quartet in Bangkok. I played in Asia for 5
months this past winter. I played with Kenton in the early sixties. I just got back into music full time, but did a
lot of back-up playing on recordings over the years. I rarely buy a mouthpiece that has already been worked on
because I do my own work, but I made an exception this time. I like what you did with this Runyon Spoiler.

                      Hi Dave ; totally amazed that a plastic reed sounds smoother, warmer and more responsive than
any of my cane. Thanks for the tip on Bari plastic reeds. It even calmed my Sugal down. also; the custom Link
job you did for me sounds great and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for mpc. work. Now
what do I do with pounds of cane? All my best, Joe.

                   Hi Dave I bought a really cool hard rubber customized piece from you more than a year ago. Are
you still doing that kind of work? Evey now and again I see on Ebay that you have metal Otto Links that you
have customized with a baffle and other modifications. please let me know when you will have another one
because I will buy one. I will need a .110" or thereabouts. Thanks, Lee Havins.

    Re ; Hey Dave.                                                                                                                                       
                        Just wanted to let you know the mouthpiece you made for me just gets better and better. I
wouldn't part with it at any price. Everybody who has heard it is impressed although many had a hard time
believing it was the mouthpiece making the difference. I think I could use your mouthpiece to sell mediocre old
horns at high prices if I were so inclined. It seems to make any horn sound a lot better.                                     
                        Last month I participated in a week long Jamey Abersold workshop in Louisville and I gave one
of your cards to everybody who seemed interested. I gave some out at the University where I am auditioning
also   I got some reed I like from  Gene Walker who played with a lot of early blues bands. Now he is a big time
jazzer. So anyway... I hope you are selling a lot of mouthpieces. Most people don't realize that the mouthpiece
makes that much difference and they struggle along with the same old store bought varieties. Never mind an
expensive horn. I'll spend $129.00 to $225.00 on one of your mouthpieces and $500.00 on the sax instead of
$5,000.00. Keep up the good work.         Lee.

            lower the baffle just a bit. Thanks, Larry.

                  The more I play the piece the more I like it. It has a different timber and overtone qualities than the
metal mouthpieces I have tryed. Now I want to try wet sanding my own Bari brand tenor sax reeds as you
suggested. I like the resistance and the piece plays so well one can use different reeds. Thanks again. I'll send the
soprano piece this weekend. Yours, Larry.
