Re: JJBabbitt blanks

Babbitt blanks are fine, although their clarinet blanks tend to have windows that are a bit wider than I'd like. A good refacer can make a fine mouthpiece out of any material, from cheap acrylic plastic to any grade of hard rubber, wood, glass, or various metals. That said, for best results the refacer often has to rework the interior of the mouthpiece (particularly the baffle towards the tip, and at the window where many cheaper mouthpieces have a pronounced molding line or ridge). The better blanks need less interior work than do cheaper blanks.
