Subj: Re: [kl] $650 mouthpiece

That is ABSOLUTELY NOT what I said.

To be exact, I said that the mouthpiece under debate "could" be worth
$650.00.

Also, I said that I was trying to find ways for my poor college students to
obtain a professional level instrument that they could afford.

Neither of these two statements says that, either, I would buy a $650
mouthpiece or that I would not pay more than $2000.00 for a professional
level clarinet.

To date I have appreciated and respected your comments Mr. Grabner. Please
do not spoil that by misrepresenting my positions and comments.

Thanks,
