Price Increases
You will notice an increase in prices. Most of my prices have been in effect since 2002. Regretfully, It has become necessary to raise them. A modest part of the increase reflect higher labor and utility costs. Scarcity of materials used in construction of quality instruments dictates the larger part of the increase. Boxwood, quality leather and horn tips for mouthpieces are all imported. They have become difficult and costly to obtain, necessitating an increase in prices.
