This is the only group dedicated to sharing information on woodwind mouthpiece making, repair and refacing. The tools, techniques, materials, successes, failures can all be gathered at this location for future reference. This is the place to learn about mouthpiece refacing!

For some basic "kit" information, see the Mouthpiece_Tools.xls file in the Files - Tools area of this site.
