Out of tribute to the mouthpiece makers who are no longer alive and who have made significant (whatever that may mean to you or me) contributions to the world of single reed players, I have attempted to include these great craftsmen of the past.
NOTE: If you are aware of a saxophone or clarinet mouthpiece maker, from the past or currently working with mouthpieces, who is not listed here, please email me with their name, a possible way of verifying their work, and their email address should they have one and I will include them in this listing. Thanks, Jim
