A visit to Lee Stofer
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:30 pm
I know for some of you this will sound quite redundant.
Over the last couple of weeks, I had Lee Stofer give my two tubas (PT-6, PT-10) a cleaning. Just want to let everyone know that these tubas have never played better since the day I got them! Lee is one of the most thorough repairmen I've ever met. His attention to detail makes him a true artist in every sense of the word, and it seems to me he'd give the same amount of respect to an instrument regardless of student or professional model status.
On my way out the door, he refused to let me leave until he polished my Parke Ofenloch mouthpiece...and, if he had the right materials, would have tried to fix the busted zipper on my Reunion Blues bag. Lee just can't stand to see our tools of the trade looking shoddy. That's the kind of attitude, mixed with the aforementioned artistry, I want working on my instruments.
Next to Southern Belles, BBQ and sweet tea, Lee is one of the best things about the South! I look forward to working with him in the future.
