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.
