I've played Bob Reeves mouthpieces for 3 or 4 years, I guess. Most were purchased here at TH or Ebay, so when I contact Reeves my questions don't generate additional income for Bob and co.
I believe I noticed a reply from John Snell (a Reeves guy) regarding a reply he made on a thread here at TH. I'd purchased a Reeves-Purviance piece (a P6 - super piece) here at TH and wanted more info than I found at the Reeves internet site (and it's a great site). Anyway, John Snell responded quite quickly and with more info than I'd even thought to ask. I was thrilled!
More recently, I purchased another Reeves-Purviance piece off Ebay that didn't look like anything I'd seen by Reeves, so I again emailed John - with pics. Again, his response was very quick - and very thorough.
I can't say enough about John's quick, thorough, and impressive responses. It's such a pleasure to receive a quality, quick response from any company today, and especially for an after-market purchase. Kudo's to John Snell for his help - and to the entire group at Reeves for putting out such excellent mouthpieces.

Reeves Mouthpieces have been my only choice since getting my first 1S695 (the old designation) back in 1971. That morphed into a 41S695 about a decade later and many more since then! I have never had a mouthpiece need that Reeves hasn't been able to fulfill. Long live Reeves Mouthpieces!
