Title: Great mouthpiece, unfortunately very short life span...
Product review: Bought the Kelly 3C in "Crystal Clear" not quite two years ago. The sound is great and it is comfortable on the lips. Unfortunately, about a week ago, I noticed that the shank is starting to crack vertically from the end. It seems to be traveling up the moutpiece, and now, it's almost a half inch long now. I thought that the Lexan plastic was supposed to be be fairly indestructable, unless you abuse the mouthpiece (drop it, crush it, etc.). There's not a scratch or abrasion on it. I wouldn't have thought that normal playing would do this. I guess we'll see how good the warranty is, but the replacement cost is $10, which seems high for a manufacturer's defect. Don't know if I'll bother with it, or just go back to a traditional metal one. I've never seen those mouthpieces exhibit this kind of behavior.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
