Refacing
Concept
A fine clarinet mouthpiece should not only sound beautiful, but it should
respond with ease, and feel great to play.
Properly balancing the bore, chamber, and facing to the intrinsic
characteristics of the hard rubber are very important in creating
an enjoyable playing experience.
 A
little goes a long way!
As mouthpiece material is more easily removed than added,
Brad’s policy is to employ a series of logical steps to best
serve the wishes of the customer while removing the least amount
of material.
In order to
best serve you, all customization services begin with a personal
interview. This is so that he can best represent you and your unique
set of requirements. The interview may include discussions about
your personal playing concept, reeds, and what you desire in a mouthpiece.
During the customization process, constant communication and play-testing
are present to ensure that your session is on track. Our goal is to balance your
concept with our technical knowledge to create the ideal playing experience.
