This site is wonderful. My problem is that I have a 400 meg total (download and upload) for the month. Usually anyone who sends messages over 400k that are not...
Barry, if you are addressing that e-mail to me, I apologize. I thought this was set up differently than replying to a standard e-mail. Now I know that it is...

After many years of working on mouthpieces, arthritis is now keeping me from holding the glass gage to the mouthpiece for any length of time. I can play my...
I once tried using a Rovner ligature to hold a glass gage to a mouthpiece. But I found that I got different readings from this arrangement. I guess it...
I have used a large Rovner ligature to hold it successfully. It seems to work pretty well. Thank you, David ________________________________ From: jorns4ever...
Hardware/tool stores sell a quick release pistol grip clamp in a small size that might work. Also, I have gotten, at the 99c store, some spring clamps that...

Hi guys, What are you using to measure the tip oppening on a mouthpiece that's bigger than 280 (2.8mm ). I'm using the Morgan measuring kit. I don't think the...
I'd opt for a shorter barrel....changing a mouthpiece will cause havoc with intonation.....unless you're going to rebore the whole mouthpiece. I just purchased...
Just a curiosity question as a newbie clarinetist; why would one want to make the mouthpiece shorter? Is it because the clarinet plays flat? if so, my logic...
There are several methods for measuring the tip opening shown in the Photos section on the Yahoo MouthpieceWork site. But we do not have a picture using a...
I have an Otto Link 8 metal that I wanted to reface because I never liked the response. It turns out that the curve near the break takes a sudden dip. The...
Yes, making the barrel shorter is the easiest way, but what do you do when you have a customer that does not what to change their barrel? The mouthpiece must...
