13 months from Humes and Berg?  I've got all of you beat. 


In 1965, in the 9th grade, I went to a music store and ordered an H & B 
euphonium cup mute (it was in the catalog) for a specific piece that was

coming up at school (I think it was a bassoon solo and we didn't have a 
bassoon that year.).  It didn't come in for a long time - I was later 
told H & B's factory burned down.  The mute came in FOUR YEARS later.  I

wouldn't buy it then, didn't need it.  Store put it in their window for 
a couple of years, until I bought it when I needed a euph straight mute 
- the store sold it to me for the cost of same and I took the cup off of

it.  It's a crummy euph mute, though - Denis Wick is much, much better.
