SOPRANOPLANET: BAD TABLES ARE RUINING YOUR SOPRANO SAX PLAYING PLEASURE !

Very bad mouthpiece tables are the single biggest source of problems and frustration for soprano players. In this video, you'll see it for yourself. All those "bad reeds" ? Well, they weren't bad at all. They never stood a chance on the consistently awful tables that are found on 95%+ of mass produced soprano mouthpieces, and more pieces by boutique makers than you can imagine. I see them all and it is not pretty. Take a look for yourself. And, find out how to check your own mouthpiece table as well.

Thanks, I already flattened out all of my mouthpieces with 1000/10000 grit stones highly improve playability.

One way I check for table flatness is to put a wet Legere reed on the mouthpiece. Since the reed is translucent, you can see where the moisture adheres to the mouthpiece.

If the mouthpiece table is found not flat, how to fix it?

[@josephgiardullo7403]

It should be flattened by a mouthpiece expert because flattening the table usually means also restoring the facing curve, which is usually altered when the table is flattened.. I do that work, as do many others.
