Subj: [kl] Mouthpiece facings

Now for a non-political and non controversial question about clarinet!

1. Does anyone have any of the standard mouthpiece facing measurements =
used by the late Everett Matsen? =20

2. How about facing measurements of the famous Chedeville mouthpieces?

3. Any bore taper measurements for Chedevilles? Both the internal =
measurement near the bore crown and the exit bore.

I have refaced enough mouthpieces to fully realize that the facing is just =
the starting point. However it is a good start?

At present I am sitting on a Buffet/Chedeville which has a sweet sound, =
but is very sharp and quite brilliant! Before I work on it, I am seeking =
additional information.

Thanks
Dave
