 Re: Checking mouthpiece tenon seal

Hey Karl,

Here's my way to definitively test the quality of the seal between the mouthpiece tenon and the barrel socket.

Using a modified version of Micke Isotalo's testing method, I inserted just "one" ring of my Prescott mpc into my barrel. Then I used Gordon (NZ)'s method of blowing wherein my cheeks are slightly bellowed out while blowing. While using both of these methods, I detected "zero leakage" from the single 0-ring. I figured if this method gave me "zero leakage", adding the two remaining O-rings would only certify "zero leakage" for my purposes.

As to the Riffault cork tenon mpc, I inserted just 1/3 of the cork section into the barrel. I did the same testing procedure as with the Prescott mpc. I, again, came up with "zero leakage". I figured, again, that pushing in the remainder of the cork would only certify that "zero leakage" would be the result for my purposes.

To sum it all up succinctly, if a small portion of the tenon material gives a person "zero leakage", inserting the remainder of the tenon material will just assure the continuance of "zero leakage".

I thought this was a neat, little experiment.
