Philip, I apologize if I embarrassed you. That was not my intent.

When you wrote that your stock Buffet mouthpiece plays better than your M13 Lyre which you have been playing for around 8 years, that, to me, was positive proof that there is something wrong it.

From Grabner's website http://www.clarinetxpress.com/refacing.html, it appears that he only refaces his own mouthpieces. Still, you might want to give him a call. ($67 + postage each way.)

Brad Behn works on any mouthpiece https://www.clarinetmouthpiece.com/refacing-mouthpiece-customization. Yes, he charges more ($160), however he does far, far more than correcting the facing as he states on his webpage. From my readings on this BB, IMHO, Brad has quite a stellar reputation for this type of work.

I checked the Clark Fobes website and couldn't find any information concerning refacing services.

You might also want to check with Bob Bernardo https://lavecchiamouthpieces.com/contact/

I know there are more out there, however, my vote goes to Brad Behn. IMO, his superior craftsmanship is well established on this BB.
