 German mouthpiece facings
Author: Chris Sereque

Since retiring, I have been experimenting with longer, more closed facings. Having very little luck with 16-17 mm facing lengths, I decided to go a bit longer, and now have a Zinner A blank at 22 mm length and about .95 mm tip. Surprisingly (to me!) it plays really well using a Steuer Essex Solo 3 ½ German-cut reed as a model on the ReeDual. One advantage of this is, even with a stiff reed like the Steuer, I can play with less embouchure pressure. High altissimo notes speak very well. Does anyone have any experience with a standard German facing, which would be 28mm length, with a .88mm tip?
