I can’t recommended Stephan highly enough. Amiable, patient and open minded, he works with the utmost care and precision. Along with his masterful refacing work, his own line of SK Mouthpieces are just fantastic and a joy to play. SK Mouthpieces is a *must* for any saxophonist serious about sound!

Hey thanks! I think most of my videos are around this length. Is there something specific you like to see more of?

@@Stephan-Kammerer I just really enjoy the shaping process of the side rail, tip rail and the baffle. I like the sanding sound very much, your work is very satisfying. I may want to watch more complete version of the reshaping process. Thank you very much for the reply.

Great information , I just refaced my mouthpiece’s and love the results. Your work is first class . Two of the three pieces were almost unplayable ,with one table’s being concave , and the other’s tip rail and table issues . And I wanted to increase the facing curve on all of them to bring out the low register. Now I get to got through all my setups again to find what makes them sing ! Ha ha ha I used Theo Wanne’s mouthpiece refacing book for the reference numbers . I am looking forward to getting to know these pieces brought back from the dead , ha ha . Keep up this great work

@@Stephan-Kammerer not really that brave . I did machinist work in my past . Two of my pieces were not playable . So I did not have anything to lose . The other was my favorite piece . But after working on the other pieces , I felt confident enough. I took my time and increases the facing curve length from 41 to 48 with the .002 filler . To help the lower notes . Then 31 to 38 with .010 , 26 to 30 with .024 . 21 to 24. With .034 , 14 to 17 with .050 and 6 to 8 with .080 . The tip opening is .115 . Sorry about this long winded message , but your videos help me see how to workout the numbers I was looking for . I used the Theo Wanne lil book with these references numbers . So now I have to figure out the best setup for these pieces , ha ha ha . I love my black beauty slant , it.s warn and lush in the lower register and sings in the higher register. Thank you for your videos , they are a big help !

Excelent👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hello, thank you!

What a great video. Is the bending for the purpose of managing to get to a 110 tip opening?

@StephanKammererMusic

In this case, I think it was. sometimes I use bending to bend a mouthpiece back in shape if it's really out of shape but mostly it's to open up the mouthpiece.

When you flatten out the table, is it the plating coming off on the paper, or have you gone through the plating and are removing brass?

@Stephan-Kammerer

Hey Bob! In the case of this mouthpiece, there was no plating so what you see is the removal of brass. In most other cases all of the plating comes off in the process. Either because the plating is really thin or because the table is so uneven that you have to file the table down far enough to get it level.
