Encore Etc., Inc. was established in 2001 by Dr. Lorenzo Lepore,
a practicing Massachusetts dentist and accomplished musician. In the mid-1990s,
Dr. Lepore learned that no sterilization method existed that could safely eradicate
pathogens from wind instruments. After committing more than eight years to researching
a solution, Dr. Lepore was approved to sterilize wind instruments using an EPA-accredited
sterilization process that is widely used for medical instruments. This is the MaestroMD
Sterilization System.

|
|
Dr. Lepore knew that in order to protect his fellow musicians, particularly children,
the MaestroMD Sterilization System would have to be scientifically validated and
safe for all wind instruments. To ensure the integrity of both his research and
the MaestroMD process, Dr. Lepore enlisted the expertise and support of colleagues
at his alma mater, Tufts University, as well as respected professionals in the medical
and music fields. |
|
|
To bring the MaestroMD Sterilization System to the public, Dr. Lepore assembled
a management team of seasoned and respected professionals to be responsible for
the operations of the company.
