 Re: how to flatten a mouthpiece table?

If you go to youtube and search for refacing mouthpieces, you will find a lot of helpful videos.

Basically to flatten a table you get a sheet of the finest possible emery paper and draw the mouthpiece along it. The sheet needs to be flat: I used photo-mount spray to stick it to a piece of wooden board. But it's hard to get this right: too often, when I've tried this, the table gets flat - but the lay gets longer. The slightest wobble in your hand and the flat portion gets more curvature at either end, which you don't want. You need a firm but fairly rapid motion in a single direction. I can do it now, but it takes practice.

Still, if you get some used mouthpieces from ebay to practice on, there's little to lose.

Makers like Peter Eaton swear that the table should be flat to get more reliable behaviour. But it was also truly said above that every reed is not-uniform in a diferent way.
