Re the last sentence. Back in the day when I worked in Newcastle's equivalent of "Manny's" I was at a seminar at Boosey and Hawkes' factory in Edgware in the company of Ivor Saville who owned Saville Bros. who had shops in South Shields and Sunderland. When I asked Ivor which instrument he played, he too replied "The cash register". I wonder who said it first?
In 1972 on my last day of a 3 week visit to New York I popped into Manny's and bought an Otto Link soprano mouthpiece at a cost of $ 12. Unfortunately it didn't give me the sound I was looking for so when I returned to the UK I gave it to musician friend. Wonder what they cost these days! I also bought on a later visit a box of Rico Royal tenor reeds from a store close by called Sam Ash which was larger than Manny's and had lots of vintage saxophones hanging on the wall.--Cheers- Mike
