Re: Why are buffet mouthpieces bad?

Most of the current mouthpieces shipped by Buffet with their clarinets and saxophones are made of injection molded plastic that has been finished by a computer-controlled mill.

They're not up to the standard of more carefully made mouthpieces from smaller manufacturers. (The curve of the facing is nothing objectionable, they're just a little uneven as a result of the last step in manufacture.)

Given a little adjustment, they're playable as are most mouthpieces.

******
It's just that for relatively little money, you can get a tremendous value from Fobes or Hite, that makes these freebies appear unappealing.

After all, you spend considerable time and money to buy the instrument, it seems a shame that the mouthpiece may not also be selected at purchase.
