The deep machining marks across the table and rails reminds me about the worst mouthpiece I have ever seen,
a Wolfe Tayne baritone mouthpiece. This mouthpiece also had a very short facing meeting the table
with a sharp angle. I had to remove a lot off metal to remove the machining marks. Afterwards I had it plated in silver,
20 microns thick , at a lower than normal current density which leaves a harder layer of silver to last longer.
