Reader Jon Stubbs sent word about an online petition to ask Yamaha to bring back their BC-3a breath controller:
I just found out about an iPetition that someone set up to bring back another production run of the Yamaha BC-3a. According to the creator of the petition, if the petition gets 1000 signatures, a more formal request will be made to Yamaha in Japan. Might not work, but there is no harm in trying.
