I bought 2. So obviously.

I always feel that if I could find the perfect piece of equipment that will let me do everything I want on the instrument, I will pay anything I can for it.
I would pay $10000 for a reed, if it would last me a lifetime, and play as perfectly as any reed could, with everything I want from it.

You ask if it's worth the price tag, that's also very subjective. The kind of artwork that went into these mouthpieces, I can't imagine costing less. If anyone is willing to shell out for a Tosca, then this mouthpiece (which will make more difference than any clarinet) has to be worth it.

And, as many people have said, just look at the cost of other instruments. Even a bassoon overhaul is the price of some good clarinets. $650 for a close to perfect mouthpiece, plus a life time guaranty on repair is nothing. It's the price of a good gig. It's much less than a good camera. It's much less than a good computer. And this is what we do for our lives. I am by no means rich, and I do not have a steady job, and I was more than happy to put money down for 2 of them, and I've never looked back
