Fascinating video. I really enjoy watching you work. (I realize this is nearly a decade old.) If I dropped my fav mouthpiece that much, I’d attach it to a badge reel or something similar, even a lanyard. Anything to preserve it and my sanity.
Totally brilliant and informative video. I have an Alto D7 that took a minor drop and have been thinking about options. That mouthpiece is quite asymmetrical and came a little bit pitted out of the box... (quality!). I'm considering my options.
Thank you for posting! Interesting. I have a signal with the translucent blue bite plate that was missing when I got it. Where would I buy material to fix mine? It's my favorite piece.
@@MojoBari I did and as of yet, no response. 🙏 I called them a few years ago as well and wasn't able to get anything resolved. Hopefully email channels work better.
why would metal welded(or hard solder brazed) in not be an approach? Understanding that different alloys were used tin pewter antimony? etc......still why not? saw one approach as TIG + filler rod
TheMovieEditor doesn't matter when using the newer Dukoffs. It's the type of metal they are made from. Mouthpiece cushion would have no effect on that metal weakening.
Keith Bradbury My bad. I knew they didn't look the same as they use to. They need to make these in a new material. I know some don't like stainless because you can't work on them as easy, but personally I'd love a stainless Dukoff D9 alto.

Is it possible to repair a chipped metal mouthpiece? If so, what do you fill it with?
@@logs-productions If it is a narrow, deep dent, JB Weld may work. Most dents in metal are small enough to be bent back out then refaced.
@@mojobari79 It is not a dent - a piece of metal was chipped off. The mouthpiece color is yellow. JB weld is grey - does not match.
@@logs-productionsI would still use JB Weld. I do not know of a yellow material that would set hard enough.
Thank you very much
mojo good morning, is it true that the dukoff miami florida is made with different material than these modern dukoff?
I think they have the same material.

Do you do repairs on berglarsens?
I can do minor work on Bergs. I flatten tables and even facings. Bite plate repairs too,
.
@@mojobari79 I think mine is trashed.
@@mojobari79 I grinded it down. Lol I am sure I ruined it.
That Dukoff metal is so fragile. I seen a guy using one and he has almost bitten straight through it
There is this little thing called teeth guards....

Never had a problem with a dukoff in 30 years of play...
The new ones are silver plated over the silverite.
TheMovieEditor No they are not silver plated now. Just buffed to a high luster.

Didn't realise how fragile they can be, even metal ones. Better be careful with my duckbill alto mpc
