This mouthpiece came to me 7 years ago as a trade-in, and I finally have time to deal with it. It has been refaced by an unknown refacer to a functional "close" facing. The prior workmanship isn't great, but it plays well, and can offer a good glimpse into the easy blowing experience, the highly resonant and colorful sound, and the responsive nature of the Kaspar heritage.
While this mouthpiece functions well, it can also be improved with a few things:
1. Open the tip opening a few points, and sculpt the rails for balance and symmetry. While the facing measures balanced the rails are uneven in their widths...
2. Carefully balance the table of this mouthpiece with a gentle concavity. Right now it isn't true, and while it plays well, with a true, honed table, the response, depth, and playability will increase.
If you'd like to have me reface this mouthpiece for you, I believe it'd be well worth it. So I'll offer this mouthpiece for sale at a very competitive All Sales Final price of only $390, if you'd like to purchase it and have me optimize it as well, the price all in is only $499. A Bargain for a good Kaspar!
If you'd like me to change the facing to a more open category or bring it back to original, then I'd need to charge my full refacing rate. And that'd be all in: $665
All sales final on used mouthpieces. But rest assured; if you really can't get along with it after a week of testing, I'll take it back for credit towards a BEHN flagship EPIC or VINTAGE mouthpiece.
