JG, Thanks very much for sharing this. Can't wait for some pictures. I am using a Mitutoyo digital depth gage that measures in both .0005" and .01mm. The base...
My loving wife recently gave me a Rovner "Eagle" #10 tenor mouthpiece. What a beast (the mouthpiece, not my wife)! Anyone have any discussion on the huge...
... Congrats on the mouthpiece and especially on having a wife that would bless you like that. These are awesome pieces. Long, high baffle + large chamber =...
Jon, Have you compared the effect of opening a large window to the alternative of tapering the edge at the end of the window (making a shallow knife edge so it...
... Jeff, I guess I've always removed the blunt edge at the window. I hadn't really noticed any loss in edge since I work mostly on high baffle pieces. I've...
Hi folks, Since the part of the reed that rests over the lower part of the window (before the rail break) is essentially inert, it seems reasonable to expect...
I've been trying to work backwards from a lot of the numbers that Ralph Morgan published some years ago in regards to the facing curves and tips of a variety...
Hello to everyone, I recently aquired an ORIGINAL table stamp Selmer Soprano in hard rubber. I am just curious. Does anyone have some numbers for the facing...
Does anyone know if Hawkins has revised their facing charts since, say, the 70's? I'm wondering if they've changed around like other Babbitt companies such as...
Bob: The .0015" should be 32 on the glass gauge (16mm). But truthfully, I have found the Selmer facings to USUALLY be crooked and off spec, even on the...
There used to not be much substance at the Babbitt site. But now it has a nice plant tour and some details about their mouthpieces: www.jjbabbitt.com...
Hi all, Could anyone share ideas on how to fix tooth indentations on HR mouthpieces? Just want to be sure before I do any work. Thanks in advance for all ...
... curves ... The facing numbers Ralph published in the Sax Journal are from an earlier printing of the Erick Brand manual. I can only speculate how they...
I've plotted a number of pieces this week using some of the wonderful spreadsheets that you have posted. I started out by plotting the curve differences...
... Keith: I could use the following tip opening plus facing schedules for a Selmer table stamp D soprano piece in hard rubber, also, for an E. I appreciate...
... http://us.click.yahoo.com/L5YrjA/eSIIAA/yQLSAA/GoLolB/TM ... Hi: What I do is clean the mouthpiece, then run over the tooth indention with 400 sandpaper....
Greetings, I am in receipt of my new (stainless steel) Berg Larsen 110/0M. It was a new "B stock" MP, which the vendor claimed meant that it was cosmetically...
If the void goes through the tip rail, you will need to fill it in with epoxy. $125 does not sound like a super great deal unless it is the newest edition of...
Hello Tots, if the tooth indentations are deep enought you can prepare some powder of HR just grinding spare pieces and put the dry powder inside the hole then...

... curves. Look in the Files Clarinet section for an article by Santy Runyon. This gets you into his head a little. He decided radial facings were the best...
Tots: I fill the indentions with Devcon 5-Minute epoxy. After it is hardened, I file to shape, then sand with 600 silicon carbide paper, then 800, then 1000....
Ed: Runyon, for the most part, has medium length facings on all of their mouthpieces. There are a few exceptions, such as the Jaguars are 1mm longer. They...
Keith, for the Soprano Sax D, use .051" tip opening. For E use .053" tip. Use 16 mm for facing length (.0015" feeler). Most Selmers seem to be about 16mm...
I agree with Paul--a flaw in the tip rail is definitely not "cosmetic only". Toby ... From: Paul Coats To: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August...
