Re: Vinegar in plastic

What are the odds. My bandmate showed up last night with a metal Meyer. Sounded terrible, didn't blend at all. At least now I know I never want a metal clarinet mouthpiece. If all the greats managed to project just fine without one, I figure I can too. But I can say that I've never found a need to use vinegar on any metal mouthpiece. None of my metal sax mouthpieces have ever gotten mineral deposits at all. Soap and water and the occasional polish are all I've ever needed. Oxidizers and acids on metal aren't a good idea anyway as they can damage it.
