Dear Manny

From what Ive read in TM and on the Monette site, you have some of the most incredible horns. Wynton says Dave Monette is the greatest horn maker on earth. My 2 cents, why not talk to Dave and see if he cant make you a replica of the Blackburn? Can anyone get that material? If he could do it, he'd probably be able to make it for tens of thousands less

Rick,

That's a great idea!

Dave's on vacation but I'll bring it up to him and see what he says.

Dear Manny

Glad I was able to help. I know how much you want that Blackburn, and know how you feel. I wish I could get my hands on a Martin Committee that Miles played. Let us know if Dave can do it
