Re: New mouthpiece suggestions

I didn't say "uniquely" American. I am vastly ignorant of British preferences in mouthpieces, so I did not attempt to speak for them. As an American of French origin I do know something of American preferences as compared to French. Americans are definitely more likely to go in for long bouts of mouthpiece tinkering than French players. I still play double lip, old French style, but in my preference for custom mouthpiece adjustments, I am very American. Tyler seems to imply that sending mouthpieces out for refacing was something new in America, or a practice to be deplored, whereas it is as old as the hills (or at least as the Sousa band) and has been the custom even among the best players here.
