Re: Asymmetrical curve vs. Symmetrical curve

Every singe Kaspar mouthpiece I've measured had slightly asymmetrical facing. I do not want to make any statement that Kaspars made asymmetrical facings because none of these mouthpieces were in perfect new condition. I do not know if these mouthpieces have been made this way or maybe, hard-rubber warped over time.

I personally prefer strictly symmetrical facings but I have to admit that asymmetry if done in the certain way can add exiting futures to the tone. BTW the best sounding Kaspar I've played had following asymmetrical facing:

1.14 mm tip
6
12
23 - 22
35 - 34
