 Re: how to flatten a mouthpiece table?

A concave table is supposed to allow the reed to vibrate more freely (less contact) and it can help if reeds warp slightly convexly. Although I don't think I've EVER had a reed warp convexly.


As for the asymmetric facing, I've come to be much more open minded about such irregularities whether purposeful or not. No cane reed will EVER be perfectly symmetrical because the natural fibers will do what they do with regard to stiffness. Also if you watch slow motion videos of the strings of string instruments vibrating (or cymbals too) you'll see that standing waves don't vibrate symmetrically either. Therefore having measurements off just slightly side to side may even aid the actual vibrational characteristics (which we'll never see save for perhaps slow motion x-ray video!).
