He is an invaluable asset to our culture and art.
His racial background has nothing to do with the quality of his work.
Same said for Caly, the man is extremely well respected on here and we will not condone any bad mouthing of him, his customers or his proven workmanship.
Isaac has been a contributing member on here for a long time, he has sold countless high quality products to many members on here.

Issues with JCR or Matthew aside...I know that you have a special sound in your mind
that you wish we could hear it with you...but there are many players here at many
different levels , with different ears and different needs and different budgets.
I sell to guy who are doctors and engineers, to guys just coming back from Iraq, to Social Workers,
guys getting out of Jail, and in half-way houses, born-again Salseros, All kinds of folks that are just happy to be making
music with anything they can get their hands on. It's rewarding to get to know them,
through our common love of the instruments.
Keep this in perspective...some of the best music I ever saw & heard was played on the worst made
instruments - in Havana, Cuba, summer of 1988.
Forget about the hardware war for now and no need to police the other craftsman.
We've heard of "robo-cop" - well, we don't need a Timbale or Bongo-Cop 2.
You wouldn't be writing this same critiques to Fender or Meinl, so leave the little guys alone...
They're not getting rich with their efforts - it's still a labor of love. In our F--cked economy,
everyones trying to survive.
It's easy to be an armchair critic. You most certainly have a greatly developed ear, but if you're
up to it physically, it's never to late to learn welding. In fact it's one of the trades that theres
a shortage of people. After a while you' may get good at it. or just enjoy it.
You should look into it.
