To Theo,
I'm not going to lie, when I wrote those first two words, well, I still can't believe I'm writing them. That you would come to our board and write as you did, it really says a lot about your character. I have indeed have used your mouthpieces in the past. I was helped by Tony Salicandro from Haddonfield, NJ, and you may have lived in or near Philadelphia at the time. Even if you didn't live near me, and I just didn't know it, you were a great resource to us. Was sad to see you go, but we all follow our own path.
Now you're back making mouthpieces, and that's great. I'm sorry that it's tainted by this pricing talk. I know you have a good heart and are doing everything you can to make your hard work accessible to everyone. To be fair, I don't know anything about manufacturing, so I hope you forgive me when I see the large gap between retail prices and get a bit edgy. If it's any consolation, I feel the same way about other current makers of equally high price. I do hope you achieve your goal of making these pieces accessible to everyone, and I do hope that you have a successful career at it, financially and morally. You're design is the most beautiful I've seen of a mouthpiece, and while we know that it's too expensive for me to try, I've performed on your work in the past and was quite fond of it. (A Brilhart with a wedge).
I don't know what else to say, what you consider success is the same outcome I wish to happen, so I hope you achieve it. I apologise if I've offended you. I highly respect you.
Sincerely,
Drew
