<<That's good advice, to see how a particular mouthpiece works with a

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.

I agree with Doug. If you use the store's services, you should purchase the
item from the store. At the very least, you should purchase music or something
else from the store that is equivalent in value to the mouthpiece that you
intend to buy from a mail order company. Disclaimers: I am not a store owner.
I buy a LOT of stuff from the Woodwind & Brasswind. But I buy as much as I can
(and order most of my music) from my local music store because they are always
there for me in a pinch...
