Re: Hand finishing mouthpiece

Author: Caroline Smale

The tonal quality of a mouthpiece is governed at least as much, or even more, by the shape and dimensions of the chamber as by the facing.
The facing has more influence on the response of articulation.
And then there is the subtle interaction of these two aspects.
An experienced refacer would want to measure exactly what your current facing was like, actuality not specification, and what problems you were having/trying to fix before touching it.
People like Walter spend many years learning and practicing the craft/art of mouthpiece work. There is no other way.
