Went to see KC and the Sunshine Band last weekend....does anyone know what kind of a setup their tenor player uses....? Don't even know his name, but it's the...
Anyone here feel like tackling a HR Link for me. I am wanting to open the chamber and close the tip slightly as well as clean up the tip, rails, window, and...
Just thought I would let everyone know that the tip gauges have all been mailed. Thanks to all for your patience. Steve ====================================== ...
That's great to hear, Steve. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to get up to Toronto. CCRA sometimes delays stuff for weeks. Merlin ... been...
That was not a design feature that was for playing characteristics... the baffle drop off from the tip made them resistant. That feature was because the facing...
Steve, Please let me know what extra postage I owe you and remind me of your Paypal info. Thx, Toby ... From: Steve Fowler To: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi, I'm a sax player. I need expert advice. What is usually done to a Dukoff soprano piece, so that it plays better? Plys "better" refers to better in tune,...
Dukoffs come with chambers that are left as rough casted. I finish all these surfaces. I usually remove the "wart" at the end of the wedge baffle. I blend...
Keith, Thanks. This is Adrian. I sent you an email regarding this. You've replied. I'm in Singapore. How do I go about send ing this piece to you? And,...
Thanks Steve for the Tip gauge. Seems to work great. The only trick was setting the zero point. Seems that the anvil has uneven edges and makes it a bit...
I too want to say thanks to Steve. I am all set up -- assembled and zeroed out and measuring but I am such a technical vegetable that I don't know how to read...
If I am correct you dont read the little dial. If you are zeroed out then the RED 95 would indicate an opening of .095. As Steve said, if you want to read...
thanks for the help, very nifty indeed; but if i were to read the RED 10 and add 7 it would not be 107 which would be dead on with what i know is a 107; but...
One would make only one reading. For instance: My 7* is a 105. The red reading is simply the .005 behind the 0. One then assumes the full trip around to...
Makes perfect sense to me. Toby ... From: sigmund451 To: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 1:41 PM Subject: [MouthpieceWork] Re: Tip...
I just assembled mine. A realy top-notch job by Steve. Great design, fabrication, packaging and instructions. It works great... if you read the RED numbers...
Philip wrote with some good questions about finishing the tip rail. I ... These are MY methods, others may do it differently: Whether metal or HR, does not...
No, but thanks. I ended up using a thick feeler gauge laid across the gauge table. It zeroed out well that way. The anvils appear punched and taper...the...
Steve, got mine in the mail today, and in a few minutes had it set up. Checked it against my Winslow, and I get readings within .002", which is not a problem,...
As we approach our 3rd anniversary of existence as a Yahoo Group (on 3/13), I like to reflect on the past year at MouthpieceWork. For one, I think Yahoo has...

HI, I have a selmer classique metal c* soprano m/p which I am modifying slightly. I have opened the tip slightly and find that it is now to my liking, however...
These are excellent. Cost about $20 each. Facing was machined, appx .090" tip opening. I did the facing first, opening to .0104" with 23 mm facing length. Then...
