Does anyone know where I can order a Morgan Refacing kit online?

I really want one...WWBW back ordered me to death so I cancelled there.

Any help would be appreciated/

Thanks.

You're best off compiling your own.

If you're just doing clarinet pieces, the largest feeler you'll need is .035", so you can get the feeler gauges from an automotive supplier or decent tool shop.

I use .0015", .005", .010", .016", .025" and .035" for clarinet work. Many people use slightly differing sets.

My facing plate is a granite surface plate I got from Lee Valley Tools.

I use automotive waterproof sandpaper in 400, 800 & 1500 grits. Auto supply store again.

Small files - try Micro Mark for those.

You'll need a glass gauge as well - J.J. Babbitt sell these; Mojo Bari has good ones too.

Check out the group on mouthpiece refacing on Yahoo, as well as Walter Grabner's page on mouthpiece facing on his own site.

Bon chance!
