These things have been said before, of course:
Whether an item is worth what's charged for it is an individual decision. And whether the market will bear a mouthpiece of this price is something that Brad will know, or find out, better than we.
I've played several of Brad's mouthpieces, and he was very helpful in working with me to find what I wanted, but in the end, they didn't work for me so much better than what I've been using that I could justify the cost. (As usual, though, your results may be different.)
If the market won't bear Brad's prices, excellent mouthpieces though his may be, then Brad will have to scale down his prices or maybe ultimately go out of business. But if there are those out there who are, after diligently trying many other makers' offerings, willing to pay for what they find to be the ultimate mouthpiece for them, then they should go for it. Brad isn't shoving his mouthpiece down anyone's throat, he's offering them.
The only people who should be chided for buying $750 mouthpieces are those who equate excellence with price, those who like to show off the logos of expensive or rare equipment, and those who must rely on others' opinions to determine their choices, but not be able to evaluate things on their own. (See the scramble for Chedevilles and Kapars on "that" auction site, where they are sucked up for a gazillion dollars even with no returns or trials accepted.)
Redundantly yours,
B.
