Subj: [kl] Mouthpiece life
Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2001 15:22:54 -0500

Questions:

1) What is the anticipated life span use of a mouthpiece before refacing is
required.
(Assume 150-180, 3-4hrs gigs per year plus practice.)

2) Will frequent outdoor gigs effect this drastically.

3) Will repeated exposure to transport in Canadian winter conditions
, cooling dramatically, and warming repeatedly effect its life span .

Thanks in advance
Dave Renaud
