 Re: how to flatten a mouthpiece table?

My E. J. Albert that was bought secondhand in 1958 has a metal ligature that is splitting right down through the metal from being screwed on too tight at the top. It works very very well with the mouthpiece, but after a few weeks of playing I had to buy a new one as the tear was getting bigger.

I keep wondering how people manage if they can't go to a shop and try oodles of mouthpieces. I'm lucky that I live really close to a woodwind instrument shop, and I was able to try a dozen mouthpieces there on my own instrument. It was really obvious to me which was the right one for me.

I wonder if there is a shop that would ship out a dozen mouthpieces to a buyer to let them try them? I can imagine that that would really help if they are trying to get a feel for what works best for them.

I'm not sure if it is feasible for the BBoard, but could we even make a collection of them and be able to ship them out to board members to try? I know that's probably far too expensive and complicated, but just a thought.

Maybe if we could set up this kind of thing then people could then see how different tables affect their playing and we could get really good community learning about how to set up a good table and what to look for.
