Re: Refurbishing a Frank Kaspar Mouthpiece

Well you didn't say what kind of Kasper so a good refacer wouldn't or shouldn't give you an opinion until he/she has it in his/her hands.

For example what is the bore size the chamber/baffle depth? and a good refacer can judge if the mouthpiece has been refaced too many times and then what to do to it.

These are just a few examples.

Replacing the cork take 5 minutes. Restoring a Kaspar may take 10 minutes to 5 days.

Be careful with whom you choose, because a lot of Kaspars and Chedevilles got into the wrong hands and were/are wrecked.

It's not just the facing that makes these special. So do yourself a favor and wait for the right person.
