Saliva is not problem. We have Sterisol and Sanimist and things to clean
that up. But once you have teethmarks on a mouthpiece, it becomes "used"
and nobody wants it. That is why stores are reluctant to let people try
mouthpieces.

By the way, does anyone know if there is anywhere near this much variation
in brass mouthpieces?
