Re: Saving DEAD sounds of Zinner's

One needn't add polish or baffle inserts to a Zinner to increase spin, life, ring, ping, etc.

By properly facing the mouthpiece for those elements, one can achieve a nice free blowing, stable platform with enough ring to make a believer out of most.

What do I mean by "properly facing the mouthpiece?"

Well Zinner blanks come from the factory with very wide rails, short facings, and their table concavities are extremely deep. So when I put zing in a Zinner I lengthen the curve, narrow the rails from the outside (smooth and polish for a nice appearance), and narrow the tip rail from either the outside or the inside as needed. Furthermore I finish the upper baffle to make a lovely tip rail appearance, AND to voice it for good response, ping, and ring.

By the way FWIW, these facing treatments will bring out enough ring to augment the performance of Legere reeds too. That is to say that Legere Signature Euro reeds tend to play duller and with a smaller range of dynamics than cane. By properly voicing a Zinner's facing as such, it makes for a more cane-esque playing experience.
