"Try this. Spray some PAM into the mouthpiece, then force modeling clay =

the chamber from underneath. Stick a pencil into it and pull it out =
smoothly. You then have a "view" of the chamber, its characteristics, and =
some of it's=20
measurements....Can be VERY enlightening!"

My heart stopped once when I purchased some "Silly Putty" (it's changed =
since I used it as a kid) and jammed it into the inside of my Gregory =
Smith mouthpiece. It wouldn't come out clean. I came close to making some =
kind of bargain with God. If She would let me get this goop out of this =
mouthpiece, I would be a different person. It did finally come out. The =
suggestion to use "Pam" spray first is a valuable one.
