For sure you have the closest thing from a comparator in the market. From
what I know you have a great number of scanned mouthpieces on your
HD...maybe in the future you can offer a horn version of the Kanstul
Mouthpiece Comparator.

We don't have a comparator (yet) but we do have extensive information,

I find it interesting when you use the Kanstul mouthpiece comparator that
there are asymmetries in the profiles, which one can only assume are derived
from Kanstul's own CNC mach

Forgive me if I'm showing my ignorance here, but aren't there several
important dimensions missing here, e.g., what's called (I think) the
