Why keep arguing? Those who want a kaspar will buy one for the same reason that people who favor Charles Bay and Greg Smith and Genusa and every other custom mouthpiece maker and so on and so on pay what they pay.............
Why purchase a Leblanc opus II with redesigned keywork when a regular R13 in the hands of an accomplished player would be just as good? My point is that there is a lot of good equipment out there, some overpriced, and some that is more affordable. However, if one wants something like a Kaspar bass clarinet mouthpiece (which, in my opinion, are the best on the market next to a good Clark Fobes) then why not try it? To each his own. If you don't like it, it will most likely still sell back for almost what you would pay for it on Ebay (if not the same or more in some instances).
Why so much animosity for equipment that has been proven to be very good? I have friend who has played on the same two kaspars for 30 years while one of his colleagues who "refused to buy a hand-made mouthpiece" has gone through about 20+vandorens and 15 other variant mouthpieces in the same amount of time. If we're talking money, tell me, who has (and continues to) spend more?
