Hello,
I concur with Brad, of course. He's one of the very best. To address Mr. Dow, flattening a table will, in fact, close the facing of a mouthpiece, but it is relatively simple (for someone that knows what they are doing) to open the tip back to where it was before the table flattening. I say it's always worth a refacing (be sure the person you go to knows what they are doing, of course) if the mouthpiece does not play like it used to--not only as a last resort.
Thanks, Brad, for sharing information with everyone. Not enough people know about mouthpieces. Everyone should know more. A lot of people that do know won't share information. It's great that such a top notch mouthpiece like Brad will. I too am more than glad to share any knowledge that I have.
By the way, my main mouthpiece has patina too. I'm not worried about it in the least.
