A bit of a newbie question here...
Have just bought an ebonite Meyer 8m off the web (from a decent retailer with a shop front) (having tried it at a workshop thingy some months back). In terms of worksmanship, the only mouthpiece I can really compare it to is one of the Yamaha basics, but I'm not convinced about its quality.
The side rails seem slightly asymmetrically curved, the forward-facing part of the tip rail seems to be slightly worn away, and the baffle also appears to have been scratched, and even eaten away slightly along the edges (these scratches have left a brown colour).
Considering this is a brand new mouthpiece, is this to be expected? It's certainly not what I've noticed with other mouthpieces...
Thanks!
