Regarding prices back them.... adjusted for inflation, 200$ in 1960 are around 1600-1800$ today.... which still isn’t much. Which is exactly why good reviews should definitely take pricing into account. 20$ from back than shouldn’t be more than 200$ today and as such it’s easy to see why paying 4 times of that for a mouthpiece is insane, given that productivity has increased anyways.

So when Buffet (rightfully) gets criticised for secretly price gouging their product via new „premium“ lines, one should probably do that with Behn mouthpieces too. Keep in mind I never played one and do not want to take a negative stance on them, it is just that today’s market seems to be filled with these sort of high end options where the extra hundreds of $$$ don’t mean an adequate increase in performance. This is something the review discussed here didn’t mention either, I think.

OT: I‘m really amazed that you guys could as well be my grandparents and don’t struggle with a computer and even use emojis or „LOL“

Hats off!
