Hi Edward, of course, please look the photo. There's some irregularities in that point, maybe is not balanced but sure is not the right facing curve ... ...
I'd like to open a tip on a mpce. For an ex. from an opening of 0.090" to 0.100" tenor. Obviously there is a limit to how much mat'l can be removed to...
... It depends on where you are starting from. If it is in the 44-48 range, I would add 2 numbers to it. If it was shorter, I might add 4, longer, keep it...
I think Keith's recennt posting may apply to this mouthpiece question: "When I gun sight along the baffle from the tip, I like to be able to see at least 1/2...
Hello listers and mouthpieces workers I'm a subscriber of this for several months now, and just spent this time reading all the very instructive posts of this...
There is no real standard for Brilhart facings that I can tell. Every one is different. Some are good, some are bad. I would recommend you take measurements...

Keith, Thank you for your reply. To answer your questions: Yes. I've gotten the morgan set. I have measured facing curves and read a lot of the material...
I recently bought this Mpce. I also bought a 50's Conn Nkd Lady bari in great shape. I've been messing with Bari's for the last few years. I want to keep this...
... Get a simple ruler with a mm scale and hold it next to your glass gage. Try to figure out if the scale is in direct mm, or 1/2 mm per line division. Watch...
Thanks Keith. The scale of the glass gage, relative to the numbers stencilled on the gage, are 1/2 mm's. The actual lines are 1mm apart. I goofed with the...
