$650 might seem like a steep price when you are comparing it to a vandoren mouthpiece, but actually it is very little if you think about something that will last you your whole lifetime and be amazing for you that whole time. That is, if you like it.

A backun bell costs about the same amount, and I see hundreds of people paying for those without any thought. A violin bow costs upwards of $10000 and I've seen some selling for $75000.

I just spent a week in NYC, and it's very easy to spend $100 in one night there. And, $650 is of course a lot to spend on something you know nothing about, but you don't HAVE to buy anything. Maybe it's worth just trying them (which only costs postage, and maybe a small fee) and see how worth it it actually is.

I also hear of a lot of people on this board playing original Kaspars and Chedevilles, which seem to be going for over $500 usually, plus the cost of refacing them (maybe another $80-$100). Seems about the same deal, plus you get a guaranty from Brad
