Doodles
  If you want your mouthpiece smarted up for the Areas then get in touch with Dave.

Dave Houghton of Doodles Mouthpiece Replating has wished existing and potential new customers a very Happy New Musical Year.

2024 was certainly a busy time for him in meeting demand for his services and he is now ensuring that customers who want to start the new contesting season with their mouthpiece in the best possible shape are also catered for.

Busy

He told 4BR: "We've been busy over Christmas and at the start of the year with customers getting their mouthpieces 'Area' ready.

We will also be ensuing that we get to meet more potential customers face to face as we will have a trade stand at the North West Regional Championships in Blackpool in February — so why not come along and say hello and see what we can do for you."

He added: "We will have plenty of examples of our work to show people and also some refurbished mouthpieces to buy on the day."
