Just like reproducing sound, the higher the sampling rate, the more faithful the reproduction. That s why we scan at 10,000 points per inch, to accurately reproduce even the infinitesimal nuances of mouthpiece contours. As illustrated below, we can stretch the latest technologies to take millions of measurements across the surface of a mouthpiece, plot them in a 3-dimensional matrix, and render a true surface model.
More accurate manufacturing requires more accurate finishing.
While we strive for accuracy within 100-400 millionths of an inch, buffing can create errors of 20 times that amount. This is a well-known problem for discriminating players, who often can t find two mouthpieces that really feel identical. To solve this problem, we have developed the Precision Finish, through extensive testing with top artists.
