Re: Discolored Mouthpieces

The other way to deal with a discolored hard rubber mouthpiece is to regard the color as "fair wear" and just ignore it. Some of my older mouthpieces, bought with used clarinets and saxophones, look greenish. I do check those mouthpieces carefully before purchase, to make sure they haven't distorted. Sunlight (as on a flea market vendor's table outdoors) can not only discolor hard rubber but warp it badly. Once a mouthpiece gets out of shape, odds are strong that it'll never play well again even after refacing.
