Why pay $200+ for this piece at a music store when you can get it here for less. (And for those of you you would recoil from playing a "used" mouthpiece, I can only say this: Everybody does it - especially the pros. I have never bought a mouthpiece new in my life!) This piece is a decent starter bari mouthpiece, though I find it a bit stuffy for my tastes. I don't hate it as much as the tenor version of the S-80. But here's a piece of selfless advice (selfless because I have 4 of these at present...): if you are not being required to buy this particular piece by a teacher or band director, I would recommend getting the much better quality, better-sounding, and more responsive (and also cheaper to by new) Yanagisawa hard rubber mouthpiece in a 5, 6, or 7 tip opening.
