I'm following this now! I have one of these... might be the easiest return on investment.

Me too. It's one of the newer style, but it's in impeccable condition. Might be time to get rid of it. :teeth:

They were going for $10K new a ways back, weren't they? So I guess it's fair.

Something tells me the seller isn't going to collect, though.

I’ve been following this one, as I’ve been looking for one of these. This price has to be a joke.

I'll buy yours then. I like the LM-12, so did many of my fellow section mates when I played in the Seattle Sounders FC Sound Wave band.

These were, what, $175 new?

I use it in a jazz/funk band, and it works pretty well. I can get a decent sound out of it on my 3J. Sounds like hot garbage on my Rudy 5/4 though. Overall I prefer the LM10. I need to find another one of those...

I’m using an LM-10 on my cimbasso, but I really do want to try the LM-12.

It’s now $400.

That’s not terribly out of line for this silly mouthpiece given the folklore that surrounds it.

Honest . . . Enlighten us on the folklore. I’m curious.

It’s basically assumed to be “plug-n-play” for “cranking” and/or some aggressive banda-style playing.

Hence folklore. It isn't "plug and play" by any means. If you try and muscle this thing, it backs up very quickly. Someone who kinda knows what they're doing though, can achieve some pretty insane results.

No, it's definitely "plug-n-play" - just blow and you double your volume. I lent mine out to section mates during rehearsals back in Seattle and each immediately blurted out more than their other mouthpiece. A couple of them bought the one-piece LM-12 from like 10 minutes of playing on it.

I barely use mine now - wondering how far this one will go...

Is definitely not my experience.
