 Mouthpiece Refacing
Author: rick77

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

I've got a Rico Reserve X5 mouthpiece that suits me quite well but I would like to have a mouthpiece technician work on it in hopes of perfecting the facing curve, tip and side rails, etc. The Rico Reserve has a little more resistance than I want to deal with but other than that it's a good playing and sounding mpc.

Who would be a good mpc refacing technician to send this mpc to?

I've read here on the forum that thinning the rails of the Rico Reserve mpc will eliminate some of the unwanted resistance. I don't want to mess up a good mpc so I'm looking for a professional to do the work for me.

I reduced the width of the tip rail by 50% on my X5 to reduce resistance. It worked very well and I find it more playable that it was originally. It's not my favourite mouthpiece, but I carry it as a usable spare.

Scott Kurtzweil and Vytas Krass have made a few of my mediocre mouth pieces into fabulous ones.
