Thank you, AlanPorter, for your interest. To really discuss Glen's techniques would take a lot of space and time. However, I saw that he did not make flat tables on mouthpieces but favored a kind of concave table. Of course, this can allow small vibrations of the butt end of the reed. He also was very concerned about the meeting of the side rails with the tip, which can really affect the high end of the altissimo range. He liked and used some tools I made for him.

I was referred to Glen by my teacher to do some tuning on my one-piece full Boehm Bb and A clarinets, which he did for hours while I sat and watched. He enjoyed having visitors watch him work, as he was limited in movement, having only one leg as a result of a hunting accident. Yet, he drove and went to club meetings and came to my home. An expert performer on all clarinets and saxophones, he was especially known for bass clarinet playing in early spooky movies.
