lmliberson,
Ah, yes, when you brought up the term "subjective", then I began to see that our definitions of "review" were actually the same. But, I wonder just how many future buyers of equipment have that at the forefront of their minds as well as the cost involved.
You stated that I'm cautious. Well, I might be, however, the way that I would describe my approach to reviews is that I'm looking for verification. This is where the search function on this BB was, and still is, so valuable for me. I did my "homework" and searched for a mouthpiece that had a very specific playability characteristic and I believe I found exactly what I was looking for.
O.T. My first clarinet had a strange brand name to me around 60 years ago...it was a Buffet Crampon and my mother paid $200 for it wholesale. (Let's just say she had connections.) The clarinet came with a very good stock mouthpiece. As for the reed, the only reed available to me was Rico which I bought one at a time for 25 cents. Lastly, next month I'll turn 74. (Good grief! I'm still finding it hard to believe that!) Hmm, maybe I need to look at my birth certificate again for verification! LOL
