My teacher, friend and inspiration for my timpani sticks.  Alan helped enormously in the development of my timpani sticks through his constant desire to achieve the best possible sound from the timpani.  I will be forever grateful for his patience and encouragement in testing the many prototype designs which I offered for his appraisal.  

Below is an extract from one of his recent letters to me ...

My dear David,
...30 years!!!!!............ I would like you to mention in your advertising material that it was you and I who developed those sticks together all those years ago.  I remember that you sat in on so many rehearsals at RFH to listen to your product in action.  Of course, you have continued to refine these sticks and the varieties in a big way so that there is something for everybody everywhere in the world. I continue to recommend your (only) sticks whenever I do my masterclasses in the different countries and am so pleased to see that the large majority of my students all over the place continue to use your high quality product. So keep up the good work  
With every good wish 
As always
Alan

Dear David!  
I got your sticks, thanks a lot!  Already at first glance it is clear that they are made with great skill and knowledge of the matter!  I decided to write after trying them out.  After rehearsals and several concerts, I can tell you my impressions.  The balance and weight of each pair from this set is very convenient for me!  It feels like I've been playing them for a long time.  And the heads of the sticks and your trademark winding give tremendous possibilities in the variety of sound and timbre!  Thank you so much!!!  While playing, I get real pleasure and am sure that new possibilities in sound and colors await me! ...  It is a great pleasure to hold workshops and sticks made with love in your hands!
I look forward to further cooperation.
Thanks a lot again !!!

Hi David,
... I absolutely love the three pairs you sent me. the HF’s were perfect for Beethoven 8, I used them throughout and the conductor was very happy with the sound.
The KK’s and the FF’s were also both absolutely ideal ... and are pairs that have become absolute staples in my “arsenal”. I can conjure a beautiful sound ... which is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you again for your fantastic communication, customer service and suggestions.

Many thanks for the quick turnaround - just picked the sticks up ... and I'm blown away. The 520's are lovely (as always) and the 660's are so unnoticeable that I couldn't see where the repair was until I looked very closely indeed. Balance feels good and I'll give them a run out at rehearsal tomorrow 
I'm very happy to have my full compliment of sticks again.

I've just put them in the post to you; the 430 and 410KK from the stick set I've had for many years now. The 540FF pair is still going strong, ... The sticks have now played a lot of repertoire, and brought years of joy to me and to others. Just the way they feel has helped guide my playing, and they've widened my palette in terms of tone and articulation.

I feel that the setup I have now is going to be a complete toolbox for me, for a long time. 
Also, many thanks for the extremely quick turnaround! I could not be more pleased, and I will certainly talk to every colleague I meet about you, your sticks and the extremely good customer service i have received!

Dear David, 
This week I was trying out your sticks on as many timpani sets I could.
They sound just great on every of them!
I tried them on an adams schnellar timpani set with calf head. The 540 FF made a big full fortissmo roll and 430 sounded great on sacre(ending).
Thank you for this wonderful work! 
I am very satisfied.
Also on Hochrainer vinesse timpani they work very good, especcially the hard ones.
Wish you all the best, and again, thank you very much.

Mr. Morbey,
I received the mallets last Thursday March 27th. I used them for rehearsals Thursday, Friday and in the concert on Saturday evening. I am extremely happy with the mallets...I am hearing more fundamental note on my drums, that was not possible with other mallets that I was using, also the sound is bigger and rounder with little ring at the end. I can roll and articulate if needed with every mallet almost! I am very satisfied, thank you so much! The balance feels same in each hand...I'm already thinking about ordering other combinations for different playing passages.
Thank you again,
JLMN Puerto Rico

Dear David, 
I received the sticks already last week, early enough to play them last Weekend in our concert.
Thank you very much for the quick delivery. 
And, what should I say, I tried all of them, and they are fantastic, great, the best sticks I ever played. And the best: they are mine, I can`t belive it.
I`m more than satisfied with them, thank you very much for your very good Suggestion.
 Thank you very much again, and all the best to you.

Hi David,
The mallets arrived yesterday in great condition. They sound, feel, and look great!
Thanks again for your help with this order and I'm sure I will be in touch again about more mallets!

Dear David,
thank you for the mallets, which arrived last week; they are fantastic!
This is exactly what I had in mind, and they fit perfectly in the set of sticks I play mostly. They are light, clear and not too hard as the wood version for me, not too dark as the felt. They don't change the colour in different dynamics; rolls are possible in extreme dynamics and they have a good balance for my hands.
Thank you again for your help, 
with my very best wishes,
WJ Germany

All the best,

Hi David
Very many thanks for the fabulous new sticks and the very swift service.  Your advice on the 430FF sticks was spot on - they provide a warmer tone with reasonable definition on the renaissance heads.

Dear David,
I have received your sticks a few weeks ago, but didn't have time to write back to you. I am really happy with the sticks.  I have done 2 concerts in the past weeks using my new sticks.  They have given me the sound that I have been looking for in the past years.  They are now my favorites!! 
Thanks again !

The sticks from you – 610 & 540 – arrived a few days ago. Of course I tried them out right away. I used the 610s for a timpani concerto during rehearsal & have to say – Wow!!! Just what I was looking for! Big, full sound, clear articulation...just awesome. 
The 540s were used to Dvorak’s New World Sym & couldn’t be better.
Thank you so much. Your workmanship is flawless.

We  recorded all 205 anthems for the Olympic Games (quite a challenge in lots of ways) and your sticks were used exclusively; I listened to the odd playback during the sessions and the sound was good and clear. Let's hope the TV sound reproduction does us all justice!

Dear David,
Thank you for sending me the sticks so quickly! They are really great!
I played the hard felt sticks for the first time on Wednesday in Berg's "Lulu". When I used them the first time the whole percussion section was looking at me because they all heard that it was a different sound. They all liked it very much, including me, of course!! :-)

Mr. Morbey,
Yesterday I received the timpani sticks (530) I ordered from you.  When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were everything I hoped for.  The quality is excellent and consistent, and they feel great!  It has been a great pleasure doing business with you, as you were able to answer all my questions and give me sound advice.  I will be ordering from you in the future!  Thanks again for providing percussionists and timpanists with such a great service!
Sincerely,
DAF  Rochester USA
