I've seen some good mouthpieces that are left quite rough and many that are highly polished, some good and some bad in either case and combination.
As examples:
- Most recent Vandoren baffles that I have seen are distinctly rough with clear filing marks. Does this have any impact on playing quality, or it is it simply to emphasise that the baffle is hand finished? I don't remember that Vandoren mouthpieces back in the 70s and 80s were quite as rough in this aspect. These modern Vandorens play well for me.
- Nearly all acrylic based mouthpieces are a mirror finish, and some play quite wonderfully, particularly German and Austrian (e.g. Würlitzer, Leitner & Krauss and Maxton).
Any thoughts?
