FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
​
Do your mouthpieces pair well with synthetic reeds?
​
Absolutely! The material and method of production is almost entirely separate from a mouthpiece’s compatibility with reeds. The more important factors are the evenness of the table and rails which allow the reed to properly sit and seal. This is why we hand finish all of our pieces after they are manufactured. It is important to note, however, that some synthetic reeds have a very unique body profile which may affect the placement of the ring ligature, so a ligature adjustment may be necessary for certain models of reeds.
Are your mouthpieces copies of existing pieces?
​
Nope! Although some of our models are inspired by designs and sounds from the past, we have found it crucial to make adjustments that are conducive to modern production and modeling techniques. We take a lot of pride in our R&D process that allows us to create original and high quality designs with a distinct sound profile.
​
Why are certain pieces offered in limited tip opening options?
Different mouthpieces perform better in various tip sizes. When WCW's works on a given piece, we test the piece out with various tip openings. In some cases, one tip opening simply plays much better than others. If that difference is pronounced we limit tip openings based on our findings.
