 Re: Not the usual Mouthpiece Question

Hey Pappy, you have the right idea though I would suggest when you test the length of the lay that you place the MP on a piece of glass instead of putting a reed on it. A reed could be slightly warped at any point so you wouldn't get an accurate reading. Keep in mind too that different mouthpiece maker’s tools could differ slightly so to one a measurement could be medium and to another it could be medium opened, or whatever. Remember to, the tip opening and lengths of the facing are only two important measurements. Equally important in many cases are the thickness and curve of the rails, the depth of the baffle, the bore size and probably several other factors that I can't think of since I've never made a mouthpiece. Go for it! ESP www.peabody.jhu.edu/457
