Today I received a shiny black mouthpiece in the mail. It's a 19 mm facing by Robert Scott, and I thought it best to try it out with a new #4 reed. The mouthpiece was *completely black* as it reached me.

I strapped the reed on, blew a few notes for less than 90 seconds, then removed the reed to use rush on it.

I had turned the corners of the beak brown.

It's me. Forget the storage and the wind and ambient humidity. It's my mouth.

Has anyone ever had this experience?! I cannot imagine what is going on, and I just hope -- you know -- I'm not ill!
