Frank with FRM was in Quebec till a couple years ago, and he does speak French. Crusty, but very helpful and knowledgeable on the phone. But I'm pretty sure he only deals with people in the business and larger orders. Charlie Marshall is also great to deal with and will sell to anyone. Good prices and service, quick shipping, but limited in materials as relates to what we play.
If anyone ever wants some Hohner reeds, I have a full set of C reeds I bought about 7-8 years ago new from Hohner, so probably made in China. Paid $250 for them, would sell for 150
I have been dealing with him for well over a decade.
He does have some interesting info and experiences in the business.. but he has to be in the right mood.
Charlie is the opposite. Very helpful and excellent service.
Thanks for the Hohner reed contacts Jeff and Bryan. It's locked in the archives now. I'll be sure to remember it. Yes, and congrats on your sale Mr Steer, but I'm tellin ya, the meeting under the bridge would have changed your life friend. LOL. Not in a gay way either. And you would have kept that Hohner too, because I would have shown you a good reason to keep it.
And..Bryan and Jeff. You've proven to be a couple of selfless fellers. Willing to help out if asked. I like dat me.
