I’m not going to mention any names here.
I’ve never bought a second-hand mouthpiece until the other day. I bought a lovely soprano m’pce from a forum member. It was mint! Just like new! More than happy with it!
Well, yesterday morning I decide to order a Berg Larsen Ebonite 90/2 SMS for my Alto. An ex-demo.
It arrived late this morning. There was so much crud on it that I had to clean it before I could inspect it. I was already peeved as there was no cap with it even though there should have been! Upon cleaning it I noticed several small chips on the tip/baffle (with the table facing me).
I’d imagine superficial marks on the body is to be expected but would have thought that the tip, baffle, rails and table would be undamaged!
I’m sure if I sent it to Morgan Fry he could sort it out for me but it would probably end up costing more than an off the shelf new m’pce.
I’ve emailed the company and awaiting a reply!
Do you think the small chips would affect anything? I’d say the chips were made by putting the lig on and catching the tip, even though I’ve never done that. They are every so tiny but I am very fussy!
I’d like your thoughts please!
I apologise for being grumpy!
