Chedeville mouthpieces are still being produced, and the last time I tried
one I didn't like it as much as other mass-produced mouthpieces frequently
mentioned here on Klarinet. The Chedeville I just saw when I checked at ebay
a minute ago said it was a "fairly new" one in new condition - doesn't sound
like the old Chedevilles that people prize. I don't know what kind of
Kaspars they may have had - none are listed right now.
