Re: The balance of mouthpieces

Not long ago there was a post about asymmetrical rails v/s symmetrical rail readings. Well needless to say I am a strong advocate for symmetrical rails and this is a great post to provide some reasons why.

Great post. For mouthpiece makers, refacers, people that adjust their own reeds, make their own reeds, hmmm I seem to do all of these, it's nice to start with a great mouthpiece table. Once the table is correct then you can make the rails even and of course you will get a lot more reeds to play really well.

Hours, sometimes days can be spent just making a flat table on a mouthpiece when you are first learning. There is something called a French Curve which refacers sometimes use and mouthpiece makers use which is actually a hole in the center of the mouthpiece table. It's an easy way to get mouthpieces facing to measure. But the bad part is this hole can or will change during time and then you have uneven, asymmetrical rails, and it's harder to find reeds that work. Wood or plastic.
