Dear Friends,

I am hoping that one of you kind souls can help me out with this...I
have an old Peterson bulldog (from around 1905 or so, I believe) that
needs a new stem.  I have the old stem for a sample, but I want to
find someone who could make a replacement, hopefully out of that new
stuff that doesn't fade as stems used to...To complicate matters, as
an impecunious school teacher, I was hoping to avoid spending a
fortune.  Any suggestions that any of you have would be greatly
appreciated.

With thanks,  
Brad Krones  

[Have a look at the Resource Guide, at
http://www.pipes.org/resource_guide.html , under "Repairs and Custom
Carving." There are literally dozens of folks there who can do stem
repairs. The last time I had one done, it cost about $25. -S.]
