Ya Ferm.. when I spoke to him on the phone he was upright and said as much about the length of time he's been making them. Actually gave me a brief history of his company, etc. Good ol boy, nice to talk to. These reeds are a new material he's using, not the standard 3 or 4 layer printed circuit board stuff that Boysen is using. It's designed at it's manufacture to flex, and it's a super fine 5 layer weave, so there's a lot less fatigue. I called TDR and couldn't get through, so after almost an entire day of getting the answering maching I said f this and called CCMS. It's gonna be interesting to see how these things work. Maybe I'll have to do the job again with TDR's, or maybe we'll have a new source to reeds.. I'll keep everyone updated as time passes. His prices are certainly better.. almost half of Boysens price and more than half of TRD's. I figure it's worth the gamble. If I can get the preformance on these that you get on your TDR's I figure I'm ahead of the game. If not I can always switch them out and chalk it up to experience.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
