RE: Mouthpiece facings

Jim: The major discount houses, Woodwind & Brasswind,
International Music Suppliers, Inc. and Muncy, provide
charts in their catalogs showing tip openings for clari-
nets (and saxes) but only one I know of, Int'l Music
Suppliers,show facings and that is limited to Vandoren
mps. Its the same data as furnished in the box when you
buy an mp. You might try calling Lisa Argiris, President
of Int'l at 800 762 1116 ext 227. She is a professional
clarinet player and a very helpful person. I agree with
you, facing information is very useful info and as worthy
as tip opening data. I'm always puzzled why these data
aren't emphasized more in the marketplace. Specialty
reeds i.e. V12s are made for longer facings such as the
5RV and B45 and students wonder why their not getting
results with short lay mps. Good luck

Don
