Interesting responses, thanks all! I had not heard of the lighter trick and it had not occurred to me to try superglue/emery board. With all respect due to those who are brave enough to take those on, I am not. Also, I have not been concerned about the nicks as much as I've been concerned about "should I be concerned?", if that makes sense! There are so so many things about my sound that could be improved upon that I don't know if I can confidently say whether the mouthpieces contribute or not. By way of background, they are both old Selmer HS**, not made anymore to my knowledge. They are 20-30 years old respectively and I can tell you that they've seen better days in general. Probably tons of issues with the bores etc. The problem is I just love these mouthpieces and feel like I've hit the sweet spot in terms of reed setup and embouchure and everything else. I've been looking into replacements that have similar specs for tip opening and facing, but scared to take the plunge.
