I agree, this is a nice post, and an interesting question. One thing occurs to me: doesn't the length of the shank influence the measurement? I've seen tenor...
It would seem, to be a valid measurement, I would have to agree with Mr. Keller here. The mouthpiece would have to be played, positioned where it plays in...
I just calculate and subtract the volume of the cork position to get the playing volume of the mouthpiece. But I record the total volume when I measure them....
If one NEEDS to know the playing volume, then the neck cork volume would need to be subtracted. However, I think that most measurements are relevant only if...

Correct - but, with "physical world" instruments, the higher up the series you go - the lower the amplitude of each harmonic... a "pure" square wave is ...
Ralph Morgan also published these specs in a Sax Journal column several years ago. The back issue is probably still available. I have it somewhere. It was...

Hi, I'm trying to make some adjustments to a SS Berg Larsen. The main problem is the facing length is too big, even bigger than the window length. What can I...
See message 4923 below. I just bought one of these and started using it to flatten the tables of metal mouthpieces. I like it a lot. The coarse side is just a...
I don't work on Berg Larsens. My local supply stores don't have enough silicon carbide paper, nor do I have enough time left in my life to remove any...

Does anyone know at what temperature a "normal" hard rubber mouthpiece would start warping? Such as if left in a car, or even in direct sunlight in a car?...
Yes, if left in a car trunk... and that can also damage the sax, corks and such. Don't know about direct sunlight. Paul Steve <stevesklar@...> wrote: ...
Having read through the responses, it looks like volume measurements are of less utility than I thought. Identifying whether a mp is a tenor or a Cmelody is...
Hello, What's up all you mouthpiece guys out there. I've finally came up with a great blueprint for my mouthpieces. I've been making handmade mouthpieces...
The Rico Graftonite Soprano Sax is a poor mouthpiece to use for comparison. It's bore and chamber are too large for most sopranos. This requires the...
Has anyone tried one of the inexpensive (cheap) Chines mouthpieces that are offered on e-Bay? Would it be worthwhile to buy one and try to do something with...
Some are good, some are bad. I've found a vendor in China who does excellent work. Most of the other ones I've tried don't understand "flat table" or "even...

I bought a terrible old Japanese "Nikkan" clarinet mpc for $10 a while ago. It wouldn't play for $#!%, but five minutes of work with some 1200 and 2000 grit...
Dear Folks, I was hoping that someone could help explain something I just discovered about my old Berg Larsen (Metal) Tenor Mouthpiece... It's marked as 130 /...
I don't know about your mpc, but basically the reed does not vibrate past the end of the cut, and actually cannot even vibrate significantly past the point...
Once again, Toby is right on the mark. I have actually gotten emails from students wanting to know if they changed from their present silver plated lig to a...
