CATALOG UPDATE - July 2006 - We are very low on Glotin-France tube cane and until further notice we cannot honor orders larger than the three dozen option per customer for all category 12 Items.

Without reservation we include the new premium Argendonax bassoon cane, Item #11 through 11B1 in the Christlieb Catalog. The Cane link opens in the first of two cane pages which now include the Argendonax, Glotin, and Donati categories (Items 11-14B1).

Robin Howell will share his expertise in Baroque instruments, bocal making, and modern instrument voicing and tuning in the form of master class seminars. He is sending out brochures to all woodwind educators and we wish him well. Click on Robin's photo and go directly to his web site.

For those of you who order Christlieb Products partially shaped reed blanks we direct you to the Christlieb Straight Shaping tool now offered by Fox Products. Contact Chip Owen at cowen@whitleynet.org. Specify your width requirement in measurements Wide .395, Medium .385 or Narrow .379. Allow time for your order because this is a custom made tool.

The Federal Dial Indicator and Set up (Revised Catalog Item 11), although available in both metric and inches, is just easier to read and work with in inches. We hope you have enjoyed the Mitituyo Dials that John Campbell has been making for us as well as the precision adaptation of the matched brass caps on the drilled and tapped 4-in-1 handles he has so expertly provided for us. John is also credited with lending his machinist's skills to the task of re-creating the Spiral Reamer ( Item 6B) when the gentleman who turned them out on his Swiss lathe suddenly passed away.
