 Old Woodwind mouthpiece question
Author: kchan 2017

I picked up an old vintage Woodwind mouthpiece with a K8 facing. The seller mentioned that the tip is 1.05. Based on what I've read the 8 part of K8 is supposed to be the opening e.g. 1.08? I've heard but never played on a G8. Does anyone know a bit about the length of the facing between the two?

I've read:
K: Used mostly by symphony men
G: Most flexible all-around facing for dance and symphony players

I'm not a symphony man so I'm curious about trying a G(8) ... just kidding. ;)

Perhaps the G has a shorter facing (and/or more angled sidewalls) than a K?
