Well, I think the thread that got the axe was spilling the beans bout a certain mouthpiece that drew 1700 bucks on online auction.
Now if it aint what it is cracked up to be....then someone got themselves a really costly RRDS*
I guess the going rate for Kaspars etc is nearly 5 C notes, and the Cheds WERE fetching a bit more...BUT this takes the cake.

Frankly. I know someone who makes NEW ones at 1/8 th the price that play great....Caveat emptor.

Most, if not all, of these mpcs will require some 'tuning' from a competent refacer to reach their full potential.
For the same amount of money, a player may purchase from a living maker.
Me? I'm sticking to the $65 mouthpiece Dan Johnston made.
I've sold four Kaspar Ciceros to the same player, who performs on his Vandoren M30... go figure.
