Sorry to go on and on, but this is a time when companies need to be respectful and listen to complaints which are almost always accurate. Very few of us are as good as Bliss and Ricardo. But we surely deserve respect and decent horns. I also feel this way about mouthpieces. Companies should make them very consistent and each one should play just like the next one. I wish there was no need to buy a mouthpiece and have to get it fixed. That's so wrong and at the same time it's wrong for private mouthpiece makers to charge $300 and up to $2000 for a mouthpiece that costs less than $35 for the rubber, plastic, and the 2 cent cork. These people should be ashamed for stealing money like this. Clarinet playing should be fun and not expensive. Hope fellow mouthpiece makers become nice and charge much less in the future. At the same time players need to know that expensive mouthpieces are usually fair quality at best. Paying a lot for a mouthpiece is again wrong. For example in some cases I can get a Selmer or a Yamaha mouthpiece to sound and play like Chedeville's. We have the Fobes Debut mouthpiece for about $50. That's what I'm talking about.
