They’ve begun arriving! I have ALL models coming, and some of them are already in stock. If you’re looking for a Marcus Bonna Case – get it HERE before the spring 2010 price increase. Don’t be tricked into getting cheap copies…
I’ve worked out a deal with the guys at Besson to purchase some of their discontinued 3/4 sized Double horns at a phenomenal price.
On the USED market these typically go for $1500 and up, and I will be selling them for $1499.00 NEW!
I have only a limited number of these – so please contact me if you’d like one. They are a perfect way for a smaller player to get into the double market, at the price of a SINGLE horn! So… bypass purchasing a single F, and try one of these compensating doubles. The way they play will astound you for a horn of ANY size.

Also – It isn’t listed yet, but I did fine one last Hoyer 801 NEW!
I know I’ll catch some flack for this one… but I am now offering my high quality Pope’s Piss valve oil in personalized bottles.
Just include a note with the order as to the name you’d like on the bottle… (Rather than Pope’s Piss – it would be Paul’s Piss.. or whatever name you choose).
It can be a first or last name, or even a pet nickname – you choose.
It’s the same price as my standard Pope’s Piss.
GREAT stocking stuffer, or simple gift!

Ok.. The computer problem is history (mostly)! Over the next week you’ll see a plethora of instruments being added.
Also, watch for my upcoming video ‘how to’ series! (Captivating titles such as ‘how to take out your valves’, – ‘How I rebuild valves’… etc. yawn… but I promise they’ll be funny AND informative).
Marcus Bonna cases will be arriving in a couple weeks. I have ALL models on order (just in time for early Christmas shopping).
As usual – if you have a product that you think I need to sell in my shop – let me know about it!
Without music life would be a mistake.
Lowell has been busy again, and we get to reap the benefits.
Bipperies, Volume 2, has just been released. I have a limited number of them in stock – try them with a friend!

NEW BAND STARTING – Auditions coming up:
My name is Elizabeth. For my Girl Scout Gold Award project I am starting a concert band for high school musicians who play at about the senior district level. There are many levels of orchestras around, but no place for serious band students, except for MYWE, and that is only for the most outstanding performers. My band will help fill this void. The band will start in September.
Auditions are June 5th and 6th, spots are filling so students should sign up soon!
The Conductor is Dr. David Neves. Further info at www.TuttiWindEnsemble.com.
Please help me by telling your students and any other music teachers you know about this fantastic opportunity. Feel free to forward this email and the attached flyer.
If you have any questions please contact me. You can reach me at manager@tuttiwindensemble.com or at 781-449-5652.
Thank you very much for your help. Teacher encouragement seems to be the best way to help students become interested in participating in additional musical groups.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Doyle
ps- a year long Senior District level band at only $250 – what a deal!
