Hi Cameron, This has now been corrected. Walter made mouthpieces in batches using hand made cutters. Each batch was slightly different, despite his skills on the lathe. Cutters would wear, tolerance might be slightly off from batch to batch. We have designed and built a semi-automated tool holder/cutting device and now use a more precise lathe than Walter's. We also use commercial carbide steel cutters now. Every mouthpiece is identical. The only problems, and very slight, we've been having are with the plater varying the plate from batch to batch. Even with that, They are still within .001" tolerance. I'll have pictures/explanations on the site once I get a round tuit. Any body ever see those on E-bay?

During the many years that I played on a Lawson Fourier, my various Lawson mouthpieces went into the receiver at different depths. But the combination of Lawson leadpipe and mouthpiece was certainly an excellent one! Sincerely, Cameron Kopf **************Eat Great & Lose Weight FASTER!
