I still like my idea of having the "combo of cups, rims, and shanks" available to send out for someone to play with for a couple of days, rather than just one or two at a time. That would make higher level players able to make a "best" choice within that line, and would allow lower level players to realize that it isn't the mouthpiece that is the problem, although they could still make a best choice for where they are in their development, hopefully with the help of a teacher or good listener.

I assume people know this, but I'm willing to send out as much stuff as someone will pay for (along with shipping, and the non-recoverable credit card processing fee).
I'm hoping they will (at least) keep some of it, and not return any of it nicked up - claiming they didn't drop it.

Please - though - ask your spouses or parents for permission before ordering, so as to avoid making up other reasons for returning all of it. :laugh:
