I agree with Strattle. These mouthpieces had at least that much money in R&D, production, and artistic completion! 650 for these mouthpieces is not gouging in my opinion.

There are other companies sending out barely touched zinner mouthpieces and charging 300-500 dollars for them. Putting an extra fancy logo on them, which I'm sure adds to the tone colour.

There are a handful of really excellent craftsmen out there, each with their different styles. Brad is really at the top of the list for me. He's truly a top notch player, a true craftsmen, completely committed to every aspect of the pieces, completely honest, and is very good at customizing (even through the mail!) to your needs.

He's refaced probably 10-12 mouthpieces for me, ranging from old selmers to ch. chedevilles to kaspars and all have been truly excellent. No detail overlooked. Sometimes you get mouthpieces on trial nowadays, look at the facing and see the rails are crooked, or the tip rail is uneven\unfinished, see toolmarks, etc. With Brad it's always immaculate.

Is it worth it? Of course! 650 is nothing. The above post is right- if you spend 6K on a tosca, or even 3k for an r13, spending 10-20% more to get a truly fantastic mouthpiece is well worth it!

He also has a zinner collection that play very well. The only zinner mouthpiece I own\have played that I have\would perform on!

I too am not connected to Brad in any way. Just a very satisfied customer.
