I'm not sure. A mpc volume mismatch only affects tuning in the higher notes, so you probably don't want to simply raise the pitch and pull out the mpc, as this...
hi everyone i just got a jodyjazz 9M alto mpc to try since its a little bigger than my RPC that im currently using. the facing on my RPC (tip .90) is around...

Interesting, indeed. Obviously some study & craftsmanship goes into the process. And if you're dyed-in-the-wool fan of the old honkers..... But aren't there...
Yes it is interesting but it is what I think most of us would do anyway. The only thing that I do different is to take a modern 6* Link out to an 8 and then...
hmmm...I wonder if he can do that with my 7 NY Link..... Â Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity. - Dr....
I have only seen a few RPC tenors and baris. They had medium-long facing lengths. The 38 = 19mm facing length for the RPC alto looks a little short to me...
I happened to work with Morgan and know that he is a fine player as well as an insightful, intelligent man. I would trust his judgment and it sounds like he...
Hi Ross, Some of what I'm going to say has already been pointed out by others, but I'm going to recap and add a few additional thoughts. Sharpness in the palm...
... The Jody Jazz mouthpieces are deliberately lengthened, but not because of tip opening, but for other playing characteristics. The curve is not a pure...
... Steve, I do similar work on Links, but go a step further and also fill in the sidewalls so that they are flat, too. The result is a focused tone, faster...
I think they're pretty good ;) I think I get much better results this way than from the step baffles a lot of us have been putting in Links for a long time....
... Yeah, it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other how to get the baffle long enough. I figure since I'm filling the floor in already I might as well use it for...
Getting the chirping in notes below the staff (clarinet) on several mps I've been working on. It's not real bad but annoying none the less. Remedies??? Also...
Too short a lay makes the low register more resistant and may be contributing to the chirping. Most good clarinet mpcs have a longer lay. 32-34, if my memory...
... "Also still haven't found a way to make the reeds blow easier." ... Not sure if you are talking about adjusting the reeds or the mouthpiece here. Making a...
Talking about the mp itself. Not clear on what you mean by "Making a 'piece with the entire length of the curve a little narrower". Could you explain this in...
I have a FAQ answer on my site about chirping. My experience is more with fixing chirping sax mouthpieces but most of the concepts should apply to clarinet...
... Balancing the "ears" of a stuffy reed, as described by Tom Ridenour, can often turn it into a responsive player. It may also help squeaks. Buy his DVD,...

I'm wanting to get something that will remove material from plastic and hard rubber baffles quicker than needle or riffler files. Any suggestions? Thanks...
Coarser files (like the tungsten carbide ones from Micro-Mark) or a rotary tool (e.g., Dremel or Foredom) are useful. DT Steve wrote: I'm wanting to get...
Hi everyone, I'm trying to produce my own hard rubber blanks. I know the density (hardness) used for sax mouthpieces is somewhere between 82-95 on Shore D...
... Seems to me harder rubber accentuates more of the higher overtones. I think maybe it vibrates more and dampens less than softer rubber. The molecular...
Hello, I took an old piece of hardwood (maple flooring, actually), and fashioned a handled tool with a crooked "finger" at the business end. This is just the...
Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew a good place to get grenadilla blanks. Or if anyone has any other suggestions as to good types of wood to use for...
