I measured how far the mpc goes into the lead pipe on each because I noticed it goes in less far on the Yamaha. Alex = 24 mm insertion depth Yamaha = 19 mm insertion depth What am I to do about this? Which is right, which is wrong, and what, if anything, should I do, assuming I wish to continue to use this same mouthpiece on both horns. ------------------------------------ Steve, the old European mouthpipe taper generally and the Alexander taper in particular is designed with the venturi point farther into the mouthpipe than the loose US standard of 1/2" - 5/8". It is just a different design element and nothing to be too concerned about. Now if you had said that one Yamaha was 19mm and the other was 24mm that would be unusual.
