Well, since we are sharing clumsy stories. I had just bought a brand new mouthpiece from Dick Ackright in Oakland. When I got home I was showing it off and dropped it on concrete. The fall put a nice little ding at the bottom of the shank. Not to long after that I went to my lesson with Floyd Cooley and stopped by to see Dick again. He fixed the dent, although I had taken out most of it myself he made it perfectly round again, and then he shaved the shank tofit my horn. Well that night in Wind Ensemble I dropped it again. I have yet to fix it since. I believe that the mouthpiece WANTS to be shaped that way and will refuse any attempt to alter her appearance. How do I know it is a woman? Well... I can't live without her, I blame her for my inadequesies, and she just doesn't do what I want.
