Dear list members, I would like to share an experience with you. Have just received a gold plated mouthpiece back from a customer. It took him about five weeks to decide to send this back, but not cleaned, full of grind of his saliva, the rim dented twice, scratches inside the cup & outside below the rim & on the shaft. I did not ask for prepayment, - as usual. My mistake, off course, but I never had such an experience over many years. This speaks for the seriosity of the horn player community. What to do with such damaged mouthpiece ? I can use it as a trial only.
After this experience, blaming the customership, I have to ask for prepayment for future orders of mouthpieces, sorry, following the china ware shop policy: "Do not touch. Damage means bought." _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
