      "I have known Mr. Stork for several years now through our mutual      association with Mr. Giardinelli. I find him to be one of the most knowledgeable      people I have ever met in relation to the art of making mouthpieces. He is also co-operative, open-minded and easy to work with. I recommend him most highly for mouthpiece work."

Lewis Soloff, Trumpet, Recording Artist

                   "Not only is John Stork's work a model of precision and craftsmanship, but his knowledge of the mouthpiece has been of invaluable assistance to my professional needs. Thank you, John!"

Joseph Alessi, Principal Trombone, New York Philharmonic

                     "New York has long-needed a custom mouthpiece maker who          not only understood the techno-mechanical side of the art, but also         understood the human side, the feeling side, of playing and the needs that engenders. Now  we have someone who truly fulfills that role-John Stork!"

Marvin Stamm, Trumpet, Recording Artist

              "My Stork custom piccolo mouthpiece has helped make the                   Brandenburg  Concerto almost a pleasure to play. John Stork's custom  mouthpiece work is  outstanding. He is a craftsman of unusual ability  and      great understanding of brass players' problems. An unbeatable combination!"

Bernard Adelstein, Principal Trumpet, Cleveland Symphony

             "John Stork represents a rare equipoise of technique and  moral.             The technique arises from a vast knowledge of existent stock an custom         forms in addition to his own creations of which my mouthpiece is one. The     moral is unique in my experience when dealing with someone at his level of    craft. No arguments, no pressure. Even when  I don't  know what I want      beyond a sonic goal, I am aided, not told what I really want, should want, must settle for, etc. The care is there."

 Philip Myers, Principal Horn, New York Philharmonic
