12/28/07 End of an era. I got a call from Jimmy Yan last week and he told me he's closing up his shop in Manhattan. He said he would continue to do repairs from his home, for his existing customers only. Jimmy is the greatest clarinet repair tech I've ever known. His work was unsurpassed in Manhattan. He was always available and always reasonable.
edited 1/16/08 Jimmy is beginning an intensive phase in his medical treatment. He will not be doing repairs for some time.
edited 3/23/08 I called Mr. Yan last week and he is sounding stronger. Keep up the good work Jimmy! 12/8/07 Back from a great tour. What a blast. Happy Holidays!! 11/21/07 We're on YouTube. John Scofield Trio plus Horns live in Orense, Spain.
