 Re: "larry combs" mouthpiece

Here's the deal as I see it. The Larry Combs mouthpiece made by Leblanc is a Larry Combs "sponsored" mouthpiece--not made by Larry Combs. It was designed with his endorsement, not his hands on involvement. I have played several of them and have not liked any of them. They are supplied (or were before the Backun arrangement) with Leblanc's top of the line models (Opus, Opus II, and old Concerto model). Although they are much better than standard stock mouthpieces they are not a custom, hand-made mouthpiece such as the fine work of Mr. Gregory Smith or Walter Grabner, Brad Behn and others we've mentioned on this board.

We need to make a distinction here of famous names on mouthpieces and hand-made mouthpieces with that person's actual involvement with each mouthpiece. Leblanc produces many, many factory mouthpieces with great players names on them but no truly handmade models. As far as I know Larry Combs isn't currently in the business of making mouthpieces bearing his name. Perhaps Mr. Smith could say this better than I can.
