Jim, Is it possible to buy just the 3 largest sizes (0.093, 0.109, 0.125)? I have the rest of the tools that I need. Thank you, David ... From: jimmitch47...

When hard rubber mouthpieces are molded, are they then cured individually or in batches (post-cured by the mouthpiece manufacturer)? How does that work? Is...
I am not sure of the process on hard rubber. I know they are molded, giving a rough blank, and they still require facing, polishing, other work. Since you are...
Duh... sorry Brent... I thought I was continuing a conversation with another guy, a clarinet player whose expertise was in plastics, on an electronics...
Probably the best ones to ask about hard rubber process would be Zinner in Germany. They not only make their own very high quality hard rubber mouthpieces,...
Hi Brent et al - This subject has been discussed on our Clarinet Bulletin Board _www.woodwind.org_ (http://www.woodwind.org) several times and if you use...
Most of you here have probably experienced what happens with intonation (high end in particular) when playing a reed that is too soft for a particular tip...
Every reed has a pitch range and they are all a bit different. I'd guess if you took a very soft but playable and a very hard but playable reed the pitch...
The relationship between the tip opening and strength of reed determines the airflow into the horn or what is referred to as resistance. Too little resistance...
Thanks, John and Greg, for the thought starters. Driving for the "why"... To simplify to some extent, the reed "oscillations" are in sync with the frequency of...
I never thought about this before. Mostly because in my own playing it is the other extreme that I had to fix few years back on bari sax. I was trying to get...
The reed and the air column have separate vibration characteristics. The air column "throbs" at its resonance frequencies (fundamental and harmonics). The...
Fantastic, Bob! Thank you. I had been thinking about sympathetic resonance of the reed and air column - that it's not one or the other independently, but a...
Yes, this is much more noticeable on Clarinet than sax, but I also notice it on sax too here's some more information with links go to the 2nd page of postings,...
The recent post on reed strength and intonation got me thinking again about the flexibility of pitch and how one might chart it and reproduce it. One of the...

Actually, Santy said an engineering professor did this, in his presence, using a Theramin to driver the little mouthpiece/speaker. And between the Theramin...
Hello all, Let me start out by thanking you fellas for all of your help. I've only been refacing for a couple months, but I do it every day for several hours...

There was a discussion on this topic on SOTW not long ago. No one could reproduce Santy's results, trying with a variety of methods--earbuds, speakers... I...
Has anyone tried this with a "cut-off" mouthpiece? Would that affect the incomplete cone and yield different results? BTW, it wasn't actually Santy conducting...
It was a professor at University of Missouri. I have attached a 2" speaker to a cut off mouthpiece. As I said, the way Santy described it, there was more to it...
