I've heard about rail tilt most of my adult life, but I don't think I've ever experienced it. I have had a couple of mouthpieces over the decades refaced, so maybe rail tilt was part of the reason why they didn't play as I thought they once had.

But for me this begs a question: how many times can a mouthpiece be refaced to correct this? To cut far enough into the rails to level them, are you taking enough out of the internal volume to affect the mouthpiece's tone and pitch, if not the first time, then the second? I would think almost certainly a third time around would destroy the rest of the mouthpiece's architecture.

Can this be done repeatedly?
