Re: "Matson" facing

Dear Bob, I did not have any issues with Matson's facings. I "KNOW" and admire his work. I measured MANY of his mouthpieces. None of them had these "magic" 6-12-22-34 numbers.

There were some variations but the facings basically measured: 4.3 - 11 - 22 - 34 with a 1.02 mm tip inside the tip rail. The tip rail was approximately 0.6 mm thick. These mouthpieces resembled the Vandoren 2RV facing somewhat but had completely flat tables.

Everett Matson magic was in his wisdom and not in these numbers.

IMHO the "6-12-22-34" is really BAD facing curve for the 1.02 mm tip opening.

We thank all the mouthpiece makers and re-facers of the past who have been on this Planet. It is because of their contribution and their life that we walk this path. We owe so much to them... that can hardly be expressed in words.
