Dan- In my experience with mouthpiece makers, I can confidently say that they all have their own very personal concept of how a mouthpiece should be set up. This involves the interplay between several elements including facing, bore, chamber, tip rail, side rails and table.

Richard Hawkins refers to "the best mouthpiece ever made". If he is just saying this for marketing then he risks losing all credibility as a mouthpiece craftsman. It seems more likely to me that he believes in the quality of these mouthpieces enough to put his name on them. And I would also assume that he believes the facing to be the correct one for this model. I don't believe that "just lengthening the facing" would necessarily improve the mouthpiece.

Of course, a top mouthpiece craftsman like Brad Behn would understand this. He could lengthen the facing and make other necessary changes. But he would then essentially be changing the mouthpiece into something else. He would need to know what Jason wanted differently out of the mouthpiece, and I'm not sure if Jason really knows that himself yet.

None of us know what Jason's mouthpiece plays like. The best person to be advising Jason on whether he needs a different mouthpiece would be his teacher.
