Short of matching a blank to a person's dental structure, I'm not sure how
that would be accomplished through a facing. And it is the facing that
people adjust while others wait. Still, good points made.

Kaspar mouthpieces can be fine tuned by any good mouthpiece maker and/or
facer. This is what Everet Mattsen does - and that is why people go to
him with their Kaspars.
