STOP. Before you work on the mouthpiece. You probably have a dent, not a chip. If so, the mouthpiece can be restored with a careful application of heat. A candle can work. I use a propane torch that has a hot air attachment. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, there are many repair techs that know this technique. The technique involves heating the heated area. I don't hold the heat over the spot but wave it over the area going in and out till the change takes place. Work on a junk mouthpiece first. It works like magic. I also restore dented tone holes on plastic clarinets this way.
