Told you that they're made in a different factory, than where they used to be made. Then

The idea that Custom Music is peddling fake or low quality PT mouthpieces is ridiculous.
... is a reasonably true statement? Unless the quality of mouthpieces depends on their having been made in the same factory. As a general principle, the notion that some enterprise might peddle low quality mouthpieces is fairly easy for me to swallow, but I don't see any particular reason to say that in this case.
Unless Custom is also replicating the genuine boxes they sell the PT mouthpieces in then I might agree. They have/had a huge surplus of them and I have bought several from them that come in as genuine as you can get. I think the above statements are disingenuous at best for a reputable company. The knockoffs that Bob is talking about are not marked or engraved with any numbers or letters on them and can occasionally be found on eBay or other parts of the web. (Oh yeah 88 posts, LOL)
Custom Music's web-site is a joke. A person who visited the place not too long ago said the address as presented in Ferndale is now an empty building and at the new address, none of the instruments shown are available. Seems they are now selling plastic flowers.
Too bad, it was once a really great place for tuba players.

The address in Farmington Hills is legit, I think Ferndale is the old address. I suppose believing everything you hear online could be the issue here, plastic flowers? Any proof of that?
