Cracked Shank

Cracked Shank 1

Mouthpiece with a cracked shank. I taped it up to avoid damage while working on it.

Cracked Shank 2

I fit the right diameter of copper pipe on the shank.

Cracked Shank 3

Sawed off a ring of copper pipe, epoxied it to the shank, trimmed it and polished it.

Chipped tip

This alto mouthpiece had a chip at the corner of the tip rail.  Repaired with epoxy, filed and sanded to perfectly match the existing rails & baffle. (not a great photo!)
