Re: Saving DEAD sounds of Zinner's

They were at the ClarinetFest 2017 there were mouthpieces for $2000. There was a ligature selling for $1000. Had a diamond in it. There were clarinets for $10,000 and I think I saw one for $11,500. If you missed the show or were at the show and didn't see the mouthpieces for $2000, well I can't help you. You are blind.

If nail polish is toxic then don't use this. I tried! Throw the Zinner's away or play with a dead sound. Hmmm - Wonder why billions of women are not all dead if nail polish is so toxic? Try putting it on outside and letting it dry outside for a week or 2. Think smart. Don't act dumb.

I give up! I tried to help so play on your dead Zinners if you want.

As for resources buy them from Backun. Call Zinner, email them and ask for distributors from whatever countries you are from. Do I need to hold your hand? If you want me to buy one I will and then triple the price. This is nuts. I'm NOT selling Zinners I'm trying to fix them for people.

If the mouthpieces project, ping and ring just fine for you well leave them alone! Will the sound fill the halls like Severance Hall or worse yet Orchestra Hall in Chicago? If so it's a no brainer Greg Smith made you a nice mouthpiece. But if they are dead either fix them or if you are afraid of toxic nail polish throw them out or sell them on ebay! Another idea is take them to a nail shop and let them put the toxic nail polish on.

I have my own line of mouthpieces. I'm surely not going to stock poor quality mouthpieces. EVER! I made my own molds, the works. Why would I carry dead Zinners?

Please ask questions related to the post. Something which I know about. If you are afraid to fix your Zinner yourself I'll do it for you for $275 per mouthpiece. If it sounds like a lot of money then do it yourself for a few cents. See I don't want to do it. Thus the high cost. But when refacers are charging $300 to $400, $275 is very fair. Remember in past posts I said I often reface mouthpieces for free. Surely not when people want to know where to buy Zinner's and then we are getting into molding V/S CNC wars. I've lost my patience of being that nice guy.

What just happened here is a "Few" people made me angry and questioned my knowledge and disagreed with me and DEMANDED me to respond. So I responded.

Email me if you want your Zinner fixed for $275. I'm telling you now you are throwing your money away, but I'd gladly take your money. This post was to save your Zinner mouthpiece. Not for me to make money.

Email Zinner and ask them if they use CNC machines or CAD machines. I already did. By the way, in 1998 very few companies used CAD nor CNC because Windows 98 wasn't out yet, depending on the month, so computers weren't really being used in machine shops. It was just starting.
