Re: How Many Mouthpieces Do You Own

I'll answer that in a different way. Earlier in my career I collected mouthpieces in the hunt for the Holy Grail. At some point, out of utter frustration I literally destroyed most of them and kept only one or two to keep myself from losing my mind (and to this day I don't regret that). More recently I had a mouthpiece from a custom finisher that was quite wonderful. For two years there was no reason to even consider looking at another mouthpiece. In a freak accident I lost this "chosen one" and even with several attempts from its creator, I could not replicate the experience. Seven years later I have three that I rotate because they are all in the "acceptable" category, yet I continue to hunt for one that is truly enjoyable.

Not a great place to be.
