Jeffrey Powell - Dave Guardala - Jennifer Price
saxnnsax
Guardala manufacturing mouthpieces for eleven years. Jeffrey Powell wrote
a brilliant program used on our various CNC machinery. The sum total of
his “hands on” experience entailed pressing a button to ensure that the
blanks were manufactured to spec. This process took approximately 45
minutes. At that point I would continue the process by using many dremmel
tools and hundreds of Swiss files. I spent about eight hours on each
mouthpiece at which time the mouthpiece would then be given to Dave. He
would spend about thirty to sixty minutes to complete his part of this
process. The mouthpiece would then be given back to me and I would turn
down the tail end on a lathe prior to buffing and plating, which I also
completed.
As you know Jeffrey Powell has been quite active in this forum. He has
spent thousands of hours with malicious intent to hurt others. I am
saddened that (apparently) he feels the need to exert so much energy in
such an unproductive and unkind way. I guess some things never change. I
would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight regarding
Jeffrey Powell’s commentary of 2-1-05 listed below.
Please see my comments. Thank you.

Powell:Yes, Dave Guardala and I have kept a low profile lately
Price: Low profile is putting it mildly Jeff, it’s been nearly two years
since Dave has been sighted in the USA.
Powell:1) In late 1997 I had serious medical problems
Powell:2) In late 1998 Dave was in a serious car accident
Price: Dave was never in a serious car accident. It was a small fender
bender. The car was able to drive and Dave did not even sustain the
slightest bruise.
Powell: 3) In 2000 Dave's Father died deeply affecting him
Powell: 4) In 2001 Dave's girlfriend had serious emotional problems
thatShe refused to do anything about
Price: I am the person that this comment is directed to. I don’t even know
how to respond, as this is not worthy of explanation. Simply malicious and
untrue.
Powell: 5) We decided to regroup in Florida to be near the
girlfirend'sMother.
Price: Dave wanted to move to Florida because he felt it was a more cost
effective move.
Powell: 6) I could not get along with the girlfriend any longer, decidedto
stay in NY and had Dave buy me out
Price: If Jeffrey Powell felt he could not get along with me then it was
his own guilty conscience.

Jennifer Price is the reason I split with Dave for 18 months. When she
left I came back. But it cost Dave some of his stock. I am now
majority stock holder because of her. Dave realized he made a mistake
letting her treat me like shit for ten years. It cost him. I did not
take as much stock as he offered. Just enough for controling interest.
So you can take what she says and deposit in the proper receptical

You're letting us know that Jeffery's contribution to Dave's company was
STRICTLY computer programming, and in no way involved acoustics/mouthpiece
design/engineering etc., correct? Do you know if he is in fact a graduate
acoustician or graduate engineer? Could you enlighten us more on his
background?

Hornsmasher, if this was a courtroom, someone would shout "objection"
for posing leading questions. You cannot possibly judge Jeff's expertise
from such a statement.
"Jeffrey Powell wrote a brilliant program used on our various CNC
machinery."
If he was given exact specs (possibly a mouthpiece to replicate), then
technical knowledge of CNC production processes and programming would
enable him to do this job.
If that which the CNC machines produced was designed by himself or in
conjunction with DG, possibly by giving DG samples and incorporating
feedback in the next sample, he would needs have to posess enough
knowledge of acoustic engineering how to make such modifications as to
achieve the end result.
If this was a courtroom, you'd have to show that Jennifer was indeed
privy to the design process. What she told is how the manufacturing
process works. From that description, Dave Guardala was the one
responsible for the final tone of the mpc, a fact that should be obvious
because he put his name to them. :)
I have no idea why this would be of interest to this newsgroup, however.
Cheers
Michael

that used to work at Alex Music in NYC and then one or two of the other
local woodwind shops like Rod Baltimore's? Not much to do with the
Guardala/answermatic/Phil B/ Sugal soap opera (with some good comic relief
by Philsey B)..
