Subj: [kl] Yes $650 Patton Hunnicutt
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 19:25:28 -0400

This email from Patton Hunnicutt shows that this person has a complete lack
of understanding in the work and money that Brad spent in developing this
product. And to say that you could care less about cost...all you want is
quality. Have you tried Brad's Vintage model mouthpieces??? I am guessing
you have not! If you did, the price tag wouldn't matter. If you have to
pay $650 for that kind of quality, that's a small price to pay.
Just an aside...I had the opportunity a year or so ago to try some of the
Henri Cheds and other mouthpieces that Ron Reuben was selling for $2500 a
piece!!!! I wish I would have had the money to buy 2 of those Henri
Chedeville's. Honestly...when you actually get to experience the Holy
Grail, money goes out the window. The craving for that sound makes all else
go out the window!

All the best...and go try Brad's mouthpieces Patton Hunnicutt...then send
some emails to us...until then, please stay respectful of the master
craftsmen we are lucky enough to have around!
