My kids' clarinet teacher had an older LC3 that I thought was great,
especially on the old Selmer Signet which my daughter is playing now. I
ordered one for a trial and it was unsatisfactory. However, this may not
have been entirely the manufacture's fault since it may have been abused
when cleaned. The inside of the mouthpiece was very rough. I wondered
how many people had rejected this particular mouthpiece.

A friend of mine had the same experience over the summer - ordered an
LC3 and sent it and two replacements back (the last replacement was
accompanied by a request simply to return his money) because the
table was obviously not level.
