Sorry to have poked a sore spot!
But, I stand by my statement. Large, commercial mouthpiece manufacturers pump out mouthpieces made by machines. The craftsmen, Grabner, Backun, Fobes, etc. all offer the end result of a handcrafted mouthpiece. Yes, their blanks have been made by a machine, but usually to the craftmen’s specifications.
I have many friends who also play on “doorstops.” I respect their opinion, but will always wonder what they may sound like on a custom piece.
