Here's a question for you.
I know that usually one refaces a mouthpieces in order to make the mouthpiece
different from what it is. However, is it necessary or desireable for a
mouthpiece refacer, such as yourself, to periodically check a mouthpiece to
insure that it still is in the same condition as when it was new? (I.e, a
mantainance check to look for unnoticed damage or wear to any part of the
mouthpiece.) If it is not in original condition, can you restore it to its
original condition?

master. He's done a number of mpc for me in the past all with very pleasant
outcomes. For tenor I played for years on an early 60's Link Super
ToneMaster 7* and "inherited" a rather terrible playing Florida or early
Babbit Super Tonemaster 5 that was barely playable. Jon turned it into the
essentially the same calibre piece as by beloved original. I also sent him
a decrepit old rubber Berg that I asked him to have a go at so I wouldn't
have to throw it in the trash. It came back transformed - not a Link but
the mouthpiece I use for laid back dance gigs.
As for Selmer solists Jon redid an alto piece for me that is top notch. I
also sent him Selmer C* soprano piece that he transformed from a throw away
to a great piece. Currently I use a Barone New York on Tenor and an RPC on
alto but Jon's Selmer still is my piece for Sop and I could quite easily go
back to any of the other pieces he worked on for me.
I really couldn't say too much good re his work. He has done at least 5
piece's for me all of which were much better for the trip plus he is a great
guy in the Ron Coehlo mold - very concerned that you are happy with the
final result. The only piece I wasn't completely happy with first time
around he made me send back and redid till I was. You can't please everyone
all the time but at 5 out of 5 Jon stands high in my books.

cyber-space. Either people don't realize the virtue in having their mpc.
gone over by a seasoned mp. tech., or their all just happy with their sound.
That hasn't been the case with thousands of players that have offered me the
chance to prove myself. Bergonzi, Bill Pierce, Doug Lawrence,Eric Alexander,
just to name a few have profited from my craftsmanship. You can bring a
house to water, but you can't make him drink! Thanks again Larry, Jon

The extraordinary endorsements you have received should make a difference in the
near future for your business that is if people get off their duff and follow
through.
Getting a house to drink water happens in a flood, when a water main breaks or
when poor landscaping causes water to flow toward the house. Getting the house
to water is logistically even harder, requiring specialized house moving
equipment and people who can do this. And, as an afterthought, is your house
male or female :-)
P.S. I use my spelling checker, and even that doesn't save me from myself.
Cheers.

don't know why the dictionary would think a house would drink water?Jon
