Mouthpiece Work / Re: Flat sections

I am re-laying a clarinet 'piece using the 2445 curve in the files section. This is unresponsive in the high register. I do not wish to increase the tip opening. Will altering the curve or adding a flat section have any effect ? If so, how much and where exactly should this be applied. KWB says flats are good on clarinet. The Vandoren J5B & Selmer HS** in the files section are good examples of manufacturing defects or wisdom beyond my comprehension. I would try the HS** lay but have yet to figure out how to apply such a facing to the mouthpiece. :(

Be aware that I have worked on less than 10 clarinet mouthpieces. I have reported my limited experiance, but it is limited. If you are not getting good results applying facings that have been donated to the site, try cloning a mouthpiece you own that plays well for you. Yahoo!
