Mouthpiece
Re-Facing and Voicing
Has your mouthpiece
lost its pep? Is it tired - not like you remember it? Perhaps it needs to be refaced. Facings
change with use and normal wear. The tip and side rails get rounded. The
specs slowly, imperceptibly change. The tone might still be there, but the
response has suffered. Have
it “tuned-up” and made to play as well as new, or in some cases BETTER than
it ever has before. I
can also determine if the mouthpiece can benefit from work on the baffle.
This is where the legendary mouthpiece technicians, like the Kaspars, and
Matson, got the most mileage from their efforts. Baffle adjustment can add
that rich DARK quality we are all looking for in our tone. Some
mouthpiece craftsmen do not like to re-face mouthpieces. I love it. It gives
me an opportunity to see and work with many styles and types of mouthpiece, and
as a result, I become better at my craft. I eagerly look forward to working
with your favorite “old friend”. Refacing Prices: q Eb/Bb mouthpieces - $75. q Bass clarinet - $ 85. Please
send a check or money order with your mouthpiece and include $6 for shipping
in the U.S. (USPS Priority Mail), or $11 for International.
Make your check or money order payable to
“Walter Grabner”. You
may also pay using PayPal. PayPal
accepts one-time credit cards payments. Disclaimer
– Some mouthpieces are warped beyond repair, or have already been re-faced as
many times as possible. In that case, I will return your mouthpiece and
refund your deposit less shipping and a $10 inspection fee. Questions? walter@clarinetxpress.com My Address: Walter Grabner |
