I bought a "Perfecta Reed" from Ben Armato and it works pretty good for measuring the thickness of a reed. It doesn't tell you the strength but rather you...
Hi! I have found for me that a link facing curve works well for links. Somehow I fell with another one it looses its identity and sounds less linkish. What are...

I've had great results with having Links (metal and H rubber) with longer facings. They still kept their main sound core, only much more responsive. What I...
Do the raised tracks or flutes inside the vintage Dukoff FLUTED hard rubber mouthpiece floor and chamber as well as the Sugal mini-tracks really serve any...
My only thought on it is that Dukoff bailed on the fluted chamber and offered an non-fluted version, and Sugal has not gotten a foothold despite the...
My guess is that they are just a gimmick. There would be some change acoustically, though, since the fluting would increase the surface area of the walls and...
