[CAUT] Concert Master benches

[Jeff Stickney]

List,

The UM Music Dept. is wanting to purchase some Concert Master benches, 
but I have been unable to contact by phone (the voice-mail is full) and 
they have not responded to email.  Anyone happen to know what their 
situation is?  I seem to remember the company had some family health 
issues a few years ago that caused a significant delay in production. 
Perhaps that is what is causing this lack of response?

In lieu of these benches, we may opt for the Jansen Petite Artist 
benches as an adjustable bench option for classrooms and (gulp) maybe 
even practice rooms.  Is there a less expensive but durable option to 
this?  (Other than the Newton Hunt plywood box of varying dimensions)

Thanks,
