I never thought my parents would notice when I got my B45 after
using some random student mouthpiece for years until my teacher noticed
and suggested that I needed a new one... but they did. They were also
very impressed with the thought that their little girl needed a more
professional mouthpiece. In fact, maybe that little pride was enough to
make them decide to pay it. :)
