S01E41 - Howard Wiseman

Instrument case designer and maker, Howard Wiseman talked with
Kevin Chavez during the summer 2014-Double Reed Conference in New
York.  Howard made his first case when he was 15 years old
as a result of having difficulties carrying his heavy bassoon.
 The first order for a case was from his bassoon teacher,
which lead to more requests for cases.  While studying for a
performance bassoon career, he continued making cases. 
Howard today continues to play and teach bassoon along side of
his case and sports coaching businesses.  Producing only
bassoon cases for the first 13 years, he later branched out to
other instruments and multiple instruments.  A lifetime
guarantee is offered with all his cases and he never compromising
on quality.  Known for his innovation, he is always looking
towards new designs and projects following his passion for
creating and building things.
