Re: Hand finishing mouthpiece

Just be careful. By widening the tip rail and the side rails often dull the tone and slow down the response. You have to know what you want to change and take off the least amount of material possible. Remember, you can never put it back.

If this is your first attempt, the most likely result is that you will permanently damage the mouthpiece.

When I was first learning to face mouthpiece, I probably ruined 40 to 50 mouthpieces before I started getting good results.

Get cast off mouthpieces from music stores and repair shops to practice on, before you attempt to adjust the mouthpiece you actually play on.
