JULY 2009 UPDATE

It is early July and little has been coming out on Dave Guardala for some time now.

I know he is still in jail in Islip New York.

I know he plead guilty to a bunch of federal crimes and promised to pay everyone back.

I know he is awaiting sentencing.

I don't know why he is still waiting?

I did receive a notice that he was rescheduled to be sentenced July 27th I believe. It came by PDF from a friend on the East Coast that dug up a letter from his latest attorney requesting the extension from mid June to late July.

I would guess we should hear something pretty soon, but would not hold my breath. Dave Guardala has been in custody since September 2007. The good news was the end of his stealing from musicians. The sad news was he went there in the first place. The news so few even care about anymore is when it will be final, since he is behind bars now anyway.

I will update if I get anything. You-all are free to post any info here also.

Thanks for checking in and have a great Summer!!

Whatever. Only one fact interests me. Dave Guardala made the best mouthpieces the working sax player will ever know. They remain among the highest-valued of all mouthpieces with the value of the hand-finished originals constantly rising. If he were to start making them again under a different name, and it became known who was making them, he would sell all he could make for at least $750 each. If he only advertised to accept mouthpieces for refacing/modifying, he could charge more than anyone previously has for such services. And I hope he does get back into it.

Well that is all well and fine, but we have a good guy making them better than Dave ever did that will not rip you off in a heart beat. PMS in Germany - Nadir is a great guy, does beautiful work and is not a piece of poopy. I had Nadir reface and replate my original Guardala and it came back looking like new and played better than it ever did - Dave never actually finished it....
