Having work done on a mouthpiece can be just as frustrating as trying out new mouthpieces. I've gone to some folks many years ago who were absolutely the best in their field and asked for tweaks here and there. In the end, even in the room saying things like "I just want more definition of the attack," or "make it play more like this one," you could easily miss the mark.

My best advice is to have a good idea what sort of facing works best for you (this can be a long and costly journey). But once you have an idea about that, you can take three or four of your favorite's to a mouthpiece person who can then measure each one. I did this and that was FUN! The dimensions were off only by one of four standard numbers taken across both rails. So the fairly substantial differences that I felt were only off by less than the diameter of a human hair at only one point along the curve.

EVEN THEN, getting a "copy" was only close.

Truth be told though I think many of us could just easily "get used to" another facing in short order as long as it is a well crafted one, and sound like ourselves in just a few days (adapting reed strength if necessary).
