Gennusa mouthpiece facing

Greetings.

I bought a Gennusa GE mouthpiece a couple of years ago so I could keep my old one as a spare. Seeing as it was paid by a 3rd party, I was not able to do any sort of a trial before I bought it. When I play on this MP, it gives me the same feeling I get when playing on an unbalanced reed (better response on one side than the other). Looking at the MP I noticed that the window is off to one side by quite a bit. The smaller rail is on the right, and it plays better on the left.

Would having a resurfacer even out the rails and therefore widening the window fix the response problem? What impact would that have on intonation, projection, etc.

So does anyone know of anyone who does resurfacing in the Twin Cities? I had even considered going to Brannen via bus and having them work on it, but I would call first.

Or am I better off doing a trial and buying a new mouthpiece? Thanks in advance.
