Re: Is my mouthpiece too asymmetrical?

Even on the Reserve MPs, that are allegedly machined to the highest tolerances, I can SEE differences between different MPs and also side rail and tip rail asymmetries. They all play pretty well, though ... very good MP. Good job
d'Addario!

One famous (name withheld) MP maker/re-finisher is of the opinion that the Vandoren MPs are the most consistent of all production MPs (this was before the reserve). He even had a model that started out with the M-series as a "blank".

Again, with machine made stuff, I say: "trust, but verify" ... There is no substitute for a master craftsman with a keen eye, a steady hand and the ability to play test their work at a high level. That's why, I suspect, people like Brad Behn don't worry much about MPs like the Reserve.
