    Congratulations to First Act in drumming up a settlement and making Brook Mays face the music for their bass act of dis-chord. They are entitled to blow their own trumpet. On the scale of things they really have hit a high note and are entitled to go celebrate in a few bars … and all that jazz.

    This is only interesting if we know about an insurance company having some of the defamation coverage or an umbrella carrier denying coverage for some reason. Otherwise just put it in some Law Journal instead of the Insurance Journal.

    Unfortunately, Brooks Mays was correct in that when the shoddily manufactured instruments break, instrument repair personal refuse to repair them. Sometimes, they don’t have replacement parts, but most likely, the metal is so soft that it bends in young students hands. Band Directors know the hardiest instruments to put in beginners hands. Likewise, Band Directors and professional musicians know the best brands and types to recommend their more advanced students need.

    The upshot is, if the manufacturers make a quality instrument, directors would recommend them. If you don’t? You are pretty smarmy if you sue because you have a crappy product.
