Paul,

Great to hear from you!

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about finding a replacement if/when needed. That, however, opens up a can of worms! I can't tell you how many threads advocate choosing between multiple examples of the same Vandoren or other so how close are the finished products? Further, are they more consistent via CNC machining or molding? Is it more important to have one that has been personally voiced and checked by an accomplished player? Last thought is one I read about time and pressure affecting the playing characteristics of the mouthpiece. In fact, I recall reading a thread that you indicated a desire to switch mouthpiece approximately every 5 years, lol!

Finally, having looked at the history of the facings and their popularity at some of the manufacturers websites it seems facings move with the fads (sound concepts?) of the time

Brian
