Well, this is what this guy has to say. LOL I am so mad I could
spit.......what gall.........this guy would sell one of these to Morales and
not flinch.

>>I have another mouthpiece that was repaired the same way and I use it all
of the time. I didn't do the repairs, and bought that mouthpiece after
someone else repaired it. I used the one you got too, so I disagree with the
opinion that it is unusable. This type of repair isn't unreasonable to some
people--A Gregory mouthpiece that broke in half and was repaired this way is
one of my favorite mouthpieces. Also I had a Kaspar that I broke and the tip
was completely lost, but someone I met wanted to repair it, and they gave me
$175--so they must have figured the repair would work. A flawless Langenus
might sell for $250, so one with damage might sell easily to someone on ebay
who might want to deal with it.

I use a mouthpiece that was repaired this way, and I'm sorry that you don't
like it. I don't accept returns at all. If I myself want to return items
that I get from ebay I put them back on ebay--It's not like a store.

If I did exchange things for people then they still might not be happy, and
I'm not in the merchandising business--I'm just a player. People who don't
like things put them back on ebay all of the time--Returns to the seller is
a silly idea, that's for the local retail store. I don't know what I can do
to make you happy--I have a Langenus mouthpiece with no defects that I want
$700 for because it comes with a clarinet, but I don't think you want to do
that kind of exchange. I can't give refunds. <<
