Subj: What's in a name? (Re: Mouthpiece (I like LaVoz a lot))

-->It is my understanding that RICO INTERNATIONAL makes all of those mentioned.
-->Hemke sax reeds, Lurie clarinet, Grand Concert, etc. I guess the comment on
-->RICO was about the one bearing that name.

Its like K-Mart. They don't have much of a rep for their own name (note
that they used to be called S.S. Kresge), but own a number of retail
chains that have much more upscale products.

I'd be interested in knowing if all the Rico products came from the same
place and how much they truly differ. When I was a kid, I used to
use Rico Royals. I always figured that they came from the same place
as the cheapie Ricos.

Extra credit: Go to a supermarket and list all the detergents
that are made by Proctor & Gamble. See if you can really tell
a difference without the label.
