Saxophone Mouthpiece Refacing NYC Assessing an Otto Link STM

[@JorisPosthumus]

We need more video's, this level of crafmenship is amazing to watch

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Thank you. I might get into it again and make more videos.

[@orestfilipov4000]

Thanks so much for explaining what’s going on with the baffle. I did it the same but never was sure if i’m doing it the right way. Now i know)!

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Yes, it's interesting how much difference it makes. Thanks for watching!

[@saxophonegeeks]

Great video man. Look forward to the followup.

[@JayRamseyCVIR]

Great vid!

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Thank you!

[@robertdedios8693]

I am sure that thing is going to come out amazing. Stephan does killer work. He made my ToneMaster sing. Stephan can you post an after playing test?

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Hi Robert! Thanks, man! It did come out really nice ;-)

[@neiljewen5734]

Could you do a vid going in to depth of what a good facing curve is and what the numbers mean, what we should look for, what work with which tip opening? Find this stuff fascinating

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Hi Neil, I probably will. I just have to plan it out a little first.

So I just refaced and fixed the baffle in one of my mouthpieces and it plays really well now--which was cool/lucky because it was my first time doing either thing. Is there anything I should watch in particular to get better at it. (Bought the Theo Wanne kit with the extra gauges)

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Hi! That's great! I'm glad it came out well for you. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to measure every piece you can get your hands on for a few minutes and then play them. There is more to this than just the facing curves of course but that work is foundational to becoming a good refacer.

[@raefblack7906]

I have a piece like that .plays awful.

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

It's probably not set up accurately. Have you had anyone measure it?

[@nandoism]

Great video. I learned so much of what you do takes math 🧮 + lots of smarts. 🐥👏🏽🐥👏🏽

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Thanks, Nando! I would never had thought that when I was a kid in school :-/
