Hi! Would you tell me how do you expand the chamber properly without leaving ugly tool marks or making it look unbalanced. I use Dremel tool without great...
Does anybody have a chart of the curve of the Morgan mouthpieces for tenor. How does it differ to radial curve and is that the secret to his pieces playing...
Most Morgans I have seen have a facing curve close to an elliptical section with a major/minor axis ratio of 4. If you have a favorite Morgan, just measure the...
Keith, I have an old, Vandoren that I was cleaning up, dropped and broke the tip off. I took some pictures, which I couldn't attach here so I am putting them...
I just did a GN Brilhart that was a little worse than your Vandoren photos. What kind of epoxy putty were you using? "Putty" may not be the best for holding...
It is the stuff that Paul C. suggested from Walmart. by "shelf life" on the Ferree's, does that mean that, if I'm only repairing one mouthpiece, that I will...
... The Jet Black and J-B epoxies set up slow. I use a quick-set stick putty for most baffles, but never tried it for tip repairs. The Jet Black may last 6-18...
When measuring mouthpieces, does the actual THICKNESS (+/-) of the feelers listed in the spreadsheet matter, or is the number of DIFFERENT thickness feelers...
The actual thickness is important. You should measure you set of feelers with calipers or a micrometer and input what you are using. You can delete or insert...
It seems like JB Weld would work better for tip repair, since the stick epoxies tend to be kind of thick and clay-like. I would think the thinner JB Weld would...

Here's an announcement from my friends at Saxquest which I thought would be of general interest. Mark Overton, the owner of Saxquest, has a fabulous collection...
Greetings, I have been working casually on mouthpieces for many years and have a question about baffles. I know from having read in the Eric Brand manual and...
Peter, I rest the mouthpiece either directly on the workbench, or block it up a little higher on a plastic cutting board. I hold my file at a constant angle...
Hi Paul, Thank you. As I read your explanation I see at least two parts of your technique that make more sense to me than the way I am doing...
Using the diagonal and circular motions of the file prevents you from filing flat spots where you don't want them. If you just filed straight, in and out, you...
Hi Paul, I know all about messing up a mouthpiece and learning from it. What is the saying...?" Good judgement is the result of...

What is the cause of a mouthpiece to respond in the high register by playing an undertone? i.e. High E comes out 4th space or middle E. My thinking is that...
Is it just this one mouthpiece? Alto, tenor, bari? Is the neck octave pip clear? have you run a pipe cleaner through it? Now this is just theory, I don't have...
... The harder reed seems to be working. It is an early Steve Broadus huge pickle barrel mouthpiece with a huge chamber. The tone from this mouthpiece is...
Very strange, indeed. It seems almost impossible, truth be told, unless the high E hole is somehow blocked. I agree wholeheartedly with Keith--try different...
