Whoever sent that message was bogus. The areas with the discoloration
are mainly in area where it comes in contact with your hands. Since your
hands have an oil in them, the finish on my mouth piece has been worn
off by the oil in your hands. It is not toxic, and it is safe to play.
It would be the same as a teeth marks in the mouth piece. Any other
questions, email me!

my listing on ebay. I have never heard this before.
Any comments?
