RE: Kaspar Style Greg Smith

In my opinion, the reason that Frank Kaspar of Chicago and Cicero (not Ann Arbor) made more consistently superior mouthpieces is because he was a superior artist/craftsman. They both turned mouthpieces from the same rod material, later on used somewhat different blanks but applied their craft differently to fit their clientele.

Chicago and Cicero Kaspars tend to be the most sought after. The Ann Arbors aren't bad... but either the blanks werent as good or Frank L Kaspar didn't do as good a job as his nephew... i'm not sure which.
