 Re: how to flatten a mouthpiece table?

There are some makers who aim for a perfectly flat table, perfectly even rails, etc. There are others who prefer asymmetrical facings, others who like a dip in the table. Over the years I have played some of each, perhaps some by design and others by accident, and perhaps some where I had no idea. Overall I do like symmetrical rails better, I am not completely sure about the table. In any event, I think if it plays well I would not mess with it, unless you have something else you like equally that you could revert to.

Regarding Paul's comments above, perhaps I don't understand his terminology, but any reed that I have had that warped was convex, meaning the center bulged out. Regarding facing asymmetry, I have found that some slight variance can work ok for me, but there are some makers who make great variations between the two rails and I struggled with that. I find it much easier to match and balance a reed if the mouthpiece rails are the same curve, but various players can likely have very different taste or results.
