 Re: "Madsen" refacing?

I think it was about 1.02 - 1.04, but keeping in mind that he would change any of those measurements to satisfy the needs (wants?) of his clients. The players I studied with in Philadelphia, when they recommended bringing mouthpieces to him, would tell me to ask for *their* facing, not *his.* He also told me once that he didn't think a tip difference of less that .04 mm made a significant difference, so 1.00 or 1.03 were, at least at the time he said that to me, more or less the same in practical terms.

I think the curve that Bob listed was pretty much what the Curtis clarinet school used and maybe also the New York players at the time. AFAIK, it came here before Matson started his mouthpiece work, maybe with the Chedevilles, and he more or less inherited it from players who came to him with oddball mouthpieces that they wanted to make into duplicates of their favorites.

Matson's genius was in finding ways to make mouthpieces play the way the player wanted more than it was being able to duplicate a particular facing consistently.
