[QUOTE="JayeNM, post: 570130, member: 4504"] It would be a bold decision by most people's standards...but the way I look at it...it likely does not effect the performance of the mouthpiece (I was hoping [USER=209]@Phil[/USER] could chime in on this to confirm actually) , can be done very precisely by a mouthpiece person, and would be more feasible IF you felt those 'pieces were keepers for the rest of your playing days. The second thing I would say is this...considering the incredibly miniscule amount of material that tweak would be removing, some people could even arguably be fine with not even stating that mod had been done should they sell in the future. Not suggesting one do this, I am always for full disclosure but honestly, it seems hard to argue that the 'modification' has decreased either resale value or performance. But again, if one has a tendency to go thru a revolving door of mouthpieces over time, probably not the greatest option.... [/QUOTE]
