I AM A SAX PLAYER SINCE 1943 & ALSO A TOOL & DIE MAKER. I MADE A TAPERED REAMER SO THAT ALL MY MOUTHPIECES WOULD FIT THE SAME ON THE NECK OF THE SAX. I FIND THAT THE MOUTHPIECES DO NOT USE THE SAME DIA OR TAPER. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP. CHARLIE

Charlie,

First of all, I'd like to apologize for not acknowledging your
suggestion, earlier.  Second, I'd like to thank you for offering, what
is, in my mind, another darn good idea!  I thought of using a drill
bit in a T-handle, starting small and working my way up in size. I
guess I would alternate between the "Letter" and the "Fractional"
sizes.  But I think my set of drills only goes up to .500". I realize
that I'll have to watch my depth, too!  The Yani' mouthpiece only
needs to go on about       1 1/16" to be in tune. 

I really don't have access to a machine shop anymore, so I'd have to
shop around for what I'll be needing to use, instead of making
something up, like you're used to doing.  

Thanks again,
Dan
