Re: URGENT; Pomarico Crystal MouthPiece

It's not always a quality control issue, as glass shrinks a lot when heated. I think the temp. to melt glass is 2000 degrees and much higher. You can be working with a 20 plus shrink rate, maybe higher I'm not positive how the mouthpieces are made. So this is why the 2 mouthpieces you experienced were different. For the record glass can melt around 1800 degrees. The quality of course varies as well as the amount of lead added, the sand and other mixtures.

The hard rubber I use only shrinks about 3 percent, so it is much easier to find 2 mouthpieces that play very close together to the point of driving you nuts, which one is better. Most likely it has to do this the room you are playing in.

So be happy with what you get!
