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.... tag:www.guardala.net,2011-10-12:12105686 Rebecca Fox 2011-10-12T12:39:43Z 2011-10-12T12:39:43Z This is a great blog.

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. tag:www.guardala.net,2011-08-12:11325874 Michael marx 2011-08-12T17:45:11Z 2011-08-12T17:45:11Z <span> </span>I lost an enormous amount of money because of this piece of crap.

I could be wrong as I never have seen the disgraceful plea bargain and its contents<br /> <br /> It is most important that you and all the other victims move on.

At the time he was teaching at Towson University in Baltimore. I put it down about 14 years ago and just last month picked it up again. I've lost my lip but my god, what a work of art! It is the Black Nickle finish with silver keys. Some new cork on the neck and I'm good to go!<br /> <br /> It breaks my heart to hear so much has gone wrong for such an amazing talent, but that is a sad story repeated over and over again.<br /> <br /> I hope one day you get some retribution, like maybe instead of money, the REAL Dave Guardala makes a personalized sax just for you, a one-of-a-kind. Not likely, but makes for a nice daydream!
