Re: Mouthpiece Design -- Ralph Morgan's Notes on the Shape of the Beak

I've played his mouthpiece since the early 90s, I love it. I found it at Weiners way back then. They said it's been in the draw for some time and I love it. When I called him to know more about the facing, it says 28 but didn't play nearly so opened, he explained that it was one of the first one's he ever made and did not have a accurate measuring tool at the time. He also explained that he used a different blank in his first year and did some different things with the bore, rails and baffle. He said it probably will play more like a 16-`18 but I found it was closer to his 6 and 12 facings at the time. In any case, it's pretty much a one of a kind as he explaind. He tried making me a second so I had a spare. It was close but not the same. I've been using it for well over 25 years now and hope I never break it though I am retired now so it won't be as critical.
