I've been looking at cello strings, a nice set, usually a mix from 2 different brands is > $300, Helicores around $150, that's probably what i'll settle for.
I was talking to a trumpeter friend. He's atypical in that he only has one instrument (a lot of them also have cornets and fluegelhorsn, which have different mouthpieces) and 3 mouthpieces at $40-80 a pop. But a lot of players have a dozen or more, and the deluxe ones run $100 for a Yamaha to $200-250 for a Monette.
(Actually, cashflow wise, double reed players may have it the worst, unless they make their own, they can go thru 2-5 a month, at $20-30 a pop, something like that).
