I spent some time today mixing and matching some ligatures and caps to a Guardala Laser Cut Tenor Mouthpieces. The older WW&BW ones with the metal ligs came...
Also, a BG metal lig, L28MJ, fits the Guardala. It is a two rail reed contact ligature. It is somewhat unusual in that the metal band of the lig is made so...
Hi all, I joined this group a month ago. I just play saxophone and am not a technician, but am very interested in the technical side of both saxophones and...
I do not think you can do much harm in this area. If I understand you, it is an uneven shape inside the throat. Runyons typically have seams there, called...
That would take far too long. Use a simple round file. Place several layers of tape, vinyl electrical tape is fine, over the baffle and tip rail so that you...
Paul, Keith, thank you both for your advise. I removed the extra rims of the throat yesterday evening with the only round file I had (the fine grained glass...
Is it a closely guarded secret, or can someone please tell me how to obtain easy altissimo notes by designing this into a CLARINET mouthpiece. I have no...
I've played around with clarinet facings a bit. Pure circular curves don't seem to work that well, being rather resistant above middle B. A shape that works...
I'm sure that many members of this list attend the upcoming music shows and conferences. I would be pleased and honored to meet as many of you as possible and...
Hi, I am new to this mouthpiece group, and have worked as a refacer for about6months. I recently recieved a Vandoren al3 mouthpiece from a classical saxophone...
... Thanks for the comments Andrew. I think that using extra short lays may be contributing to the reed's lack of response when vibrating on the highest notes....
Hello all, I apologize if this has been gone over before, but... The link on the mouthpiecework site for the feeler gauges is down (the one in the tools...
I got a set of feeler gauges up to .035" at an auto parts store (Pep Boys) for $5-$10. When supplemented with the larger feeler gauges made by Jeff Rosner (of...

There is another source for larger feelers at: http://www.mitchellstore.com/ I have not tried these, but they should work. I recommend you use a micrometer to...

I hope some others might chime in as well with their experiences, but mine has been that thinning the tip rail will not make the mpc brighter at all, but it...
I am fairly inexperienced as a clarinet player (3 years or so) and certainly not a refacer but look at the posts with great interest.

Thanks for your advise Toby,glad to hear that thinning the tiprail wont make the mouthpc more bright.The mouthpc I am talking about seems to be very similar to...
My experiance is mostly with sax moutpieces. Sax MP experiances do not translate well to clarinet MPs. I think thinning the tip rail makes the MP more...
The clarinet is a completely different animal than the sax, notwithstanding that both are single reed instruments. The physics of the two are quite different,...
I have a Vandoren A35 with a very normal tip rail. God knows what Vandoren is thinking. If you take material off just behind the tip rail you can smooth that...
I find that a radial facing is very free blowing on a clarinet. Too free blowing for normal classical tip openings. But they come in handy for wide tip...
I have just checked an AL4 and SL3 from my stock, and both have very normal tip rails. What we might be talking about is a manufacturing anomaly. Geoff. ... ...
