Re: Don't throw away that old mouthpiece

I successfully "opened" a plastic mouthpiece once. I successfully destroyed several others. As long as chirps, squeals and shrieks aren't part of the mandatory curriculum, I decided that this was beyond my current abilities and limited time and equipment and let a pro handle a promising mouthpiece. But I congratulate everyone who has more success than I do.

I share the Auction Site experience - I buy a "xyz clarinet needs luv" clunker and get two or three mouthpieces (I still wait for that Kaspar, but got pristine 2RV, 5RV Lyres etc in the past) for less than 25 bucks, including a free clarinet.
My nature forbids to throw away salvageable gear so I end up refurbishing the bycatch and sell that again. I sometimes wonder why I am doing this. Lack of respect lets me tinker around with them, an overdose of respect forbids to throw them away...
