Zinner Blanks?

Author: Frank

I'm going to order a couple Zinner blanks and have some face them for me. But I was wondering if any of you can tell me the differences (in sound, articulation, projection, etc...) between the angled side-wall the the regular side wall versions of the blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would ask the person doing the refacing for you what results s/he has had with each of the blanks.

I have tried both of the blanks and I noticed that the angled sidewalls get a broader sound. The other blank seems to be a smaller more compact sound.

General knowledge:It is typical for german mouthpiece and generally increases overtones to emit darker tone.
By the way facing table and rails does not change tonal characteristics.
Almost all mouthpiece craftpeople using Zinner blanks change inside(baffle/chamber) according to their own design, which needs special tooling as pointed out by Pine and Greg Smith.
