That's good advice, to see how a particular mouthpiece works with a
particular instrument, but just how long do you think that local
music store is going to stay in business if a lot of people start
following your rip-off advice? That's only one step above
shoplifting, in my book, to use their salespeople's time and try out
their inventory with no intention of buying from them.
