Getting ready to practice I fumbled with my neck strap sending my mouthpiece to the tile floor. The corner of the rail is now broken. While it feels like I'm the only person to ever experience this ignominious feat, I know that isn't the case.
Questions:
Can this be fixed?
Will it sound the same if it can?
Related to this subject, the mouthpiece in question is a vintage Selmer Soloist C**. It now occurs to me that I need a backup mouthpiece for just such circumstances. I can find both C* and C** mouthpieces on eBay. Can anyone explain the difference? Also, my C** looks different than the ones I'm spotting online, in particular the "C**" on mine is located on the table, while the others seems to have it imprinted on the body.
Any other advice regarding this is greatly appreciated, as is your sympathy because right now I feel like hurling something at a wall.
