"I have known Terry Warburton for 35 years or so and there are not enough superlatives in the book to describe him as a master craftsman and beautiful person. He is completely dedicated to music and music education. He once spent hours hand crafting a "Woody" mute of my choosing (Walnut TR-2) while we hung out at the factory listening to records. It is a work of art and sounds so highly personal. Terry always focuses on the music and innovation, no matter if you are talking mouthpieces, horns or mutes. Hearing him talk about his recent trip to China was fascinating. Thanks for everything Terry! #ITG2019"
