Ah, but SHOULD he?

Is there a danger of destroying a (reasonably good) mouthpiece?

Or presuming that the craftsman knows what he is doing, is it more
likely that the mpc. will be the better for it, and become a VERY good
one?

I suppose the answer to that question is that the final condition of
the mpc.is what tells you if the craftsman indeed does know what he is
doing.

But can even an expert (a judgement based on past experience - what
else?) slip up for some combinations of mpc. and player and make
things worse?

(Present company excepted, of course)

;-)

In the most general terms, can a mouthpiece craftsman remove much
material from inside a blank if he wishes?

Can and sometimes does.
