I now have some Runyon Model 22 mouthpiece blanks available. These are newly manufactured, they are faced as 4's (.066" alto, .078" tenor). No logos stamped,...
I have made an amazing discovery! One thing I do, above and beyond what the customer expects for mouthpiece work, I try to clean up the mouthpiece as well as I...
Great tip Paul. I try and balance making a piece look nice and keeping the logo imprint crisp. Some mouthpieces are more prone to browning than others. My ...
... Paul: that Mr. cLean IS an amazing product. Especially good for when you bump your black horn case against a white wall. But I never thought it could be...
Anybody know what these are made out of? I've worked on a few of them and they appear to be some type of cast Nickel(?). Some have corrosion areas that may...
Hello all, I ran across a lot of Morgan glass gauges (they're not like my kit, so I don't know if they are prototypes or what, exactly but the measurements are...
Hello all, ... I also ran around (here in Europe) but found none. Therefore I mad my one ones... I will upload a picture of my layout next weekend, comments...
Would someone have measurements of a Guardala Brecker 1 Tenor mouthpiece. Mine is 108 thou tip and the lay is 26 MM long. It is quite unbalanced the further...
Hello there! ... O.k. done it. Here is my rationale: I divided the scale and put it more next the rails to get better results. I also made the scale longer for...

Steven, I have removed your message on Sax Gourmet. I do not agree or disagree with it. I do normally allow some off-topic postings if they are music related ...
Does anyone have experience working with Buescher alto mouthpieces? Specifically I'm wondering what aspect can cause the slight buzz in the sound? My guess is...
What brand & strength reeds are you using on it? Stock facing? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail...
I use 3 1/2 to 4 strength Vandoren's. Stock facing; not quite sure. It doesn't look like it has been opened up, tip opening is fairly close, somewhere around...
I have noticed that marking on the Buescher Tru-Lay mouthpieces (I have one, which ironically measures somewhere in the .060's, probably was worked on) but the...
I read on a Sax site someone recommending the use of a mouthpiece brush. Though I do use one of these ,I realise that repeated use is just shoving the bugs and...
Well then the "buzz" aint from soft reeds. It could possibly be from a flat section in the facing curve near the tip. __________________________________ ...
Thanks. I will check that out, though I'm still new to this so I will have to figure out about checking for flat spots in the facing. Does the tip rail play a...
I doubt the tip rail could be the problem. Is it thick or thin (like .020" wide)? It is difficult to measure flat sections in the tip area. You can get a ...
