Seriously what is the deal with people getting upset about getting vandoren mouthpieces refaced? Vandoren mouthpieces are definitely not inferior in the way of their sound capabilities, just mostly the way of their finish. People pay premium on custom mouthpieces because they are hand finished and have more time (hopefully) spent working on the mouthpiece, so why not save your vandoren mouthpiece that you possibly grew up on? Vandoren mouthpieces really do have a great potential, but there is always a margin of error in mass producing any one product which can be seen as the "defective" or inferior instruments/mouthpieces/reeds, what not.

what are your thoughts?
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
