My fault...I didn't look at the mouthpiece close enough. I just went by what gwie said above.

With all due respect, I don't look upon a machine made, $127 mpc as a rather high-end mouthpiece. To me, high-end means boutique. I've read where Walter Grabner play tests his mouthpieces for up to an hour before he's satisfied. Does Backun or Hawkins play test each mouthpiece to make sure of its quality performance? I think not.

As to slightly changing the curve to reduce resistance, that really is not weird but rather common.

Because Backun lists the "R" model as close/short, I can only imagine that the facing length is around 30 to 32, as 34 is pretty much accepted as being medium.

So, perhaps, just lengthening the facing to a medium 34 could possibly make a world of difference to Jason.

Clark Fobes CWF is at a 34.5 facing. Now, I've read where he did this slightly longer facing to bring down the resistance due to making the baffle deeper.

So, slightly lengthening the facing is a real possibility to me.

p.s. As to flattening the curve to reduce resistance, it was Brad Behn who not only told me about this but also gave me a Brand number that a certain gauge should read to help flatten the curve.
