I show how to repair a chipped tip in a saxophone or clarinet mouthpiece. In this case it is a vintage Alto Sax New York Meyer Brothers small chamber 5M. I replace the missing chip using JB Weld epoxy.

I think I know the guy who sent this to you. We were on break during a big band rehearsal and the guy let the 2nd alto player give it a blow. He set it on his stand and when we started back playing he forgot about it and had a page turn and well that was the end that! I told the owner when it broke to send it to MojoBari! Great Job!

Hey thanks so much for this great video. I thought my old mouth piece was toast and didn't even know it could be repaired. The JB Weld is amazing for so many things. My mouthpiece which was my fathers since he was a kid had been passed on to me since I was a kid and now I will probably pass it on to my son when he's old enough. So far this has been probably the MOST useful KZfaq video I have ever watched now! Thanks

10+ years you did a Brilhardt Baritone sax mpc for a student who opened up his case and found his mpc looking like this vintage Meyer. You did magnificent restoration and when you called me to say it could use adjustment in the facing, I said go ahead and the mpc turned out better than the original.... Masterful work Keith..

I watched your video and tried the JB weld. It just pealed off. There was virtually no bonding at all with the glue. I did however use super glue and bicarbonate of soda. This stuck very very well and with the BiCarb, it was easy file and reshape the mouth piece. Now plays perfectly. Your video did however give the the inspiration to try a fix. Thanks

Wallace W I only have had a problem when using JB Weld on metal mouthpieces. If your break area is very smooth and not clean that could be an issue. Try scuffing or scratching the area first. I have heard of people using hard rubber dust or burned wood dust with super glue.

@@MojoBari I did scuff it up but there was little bonding between the two products. JB weld does not wick that well. Super glue does. Super glue and Bicarb reacts together to form a very hard product. The reaction is very quick. Pity I cant post photos of the repair. I have used JB on many other repairs but trying to get something to bond /eat into the hard rubber/plastic to forma permanent bond is a challenge. If you haven't used superglue and Bicarb before, give it a go.

@MojoBari
@MojoBari 7 жыл бұрын
I do not think I have ever filled a crack. They generally are too tight to leak unless they split open when you jam a mouthpiece on a tight neck cork. If I had to fill one, I would create a "V" groove at the crack and fill it with epoxy.

How much is charged for fixing a chipped mouthpiece? A new one would be at least $100. if not higher. It took lots of tedious work to resuscitate the mouthpiece so I could see at least $50 - $80. for repair. Would it be a flat rate or would it be based on the value of the mouthpiece?
@MojoBari
@MojoBari 6 жыл бұрын
Typically I charge a full reface rate of $95 + return shipping. If the chip is a huge piece missing I might charge $25 more to fill it in.

Making a new mouthpiece with epoxy may be possible but there are many better ways to do. Molding copies using plastic resin is one of them. My metal Reed templates will not play. Experiments have been done using thin metal reeds in the past. They do not work well.

I know this might sound crazy but, if you are able to fix this chip on this mouthpiece I would assume that you could fix a chip in any mouthpiece providing that the chip did not take more than 50 % off. I suppose I am a bit baffled by some of the others asking about certain mouthpieces. Watching this makes me a bit sick. I have had students who have thrown mouthpieces away and if I had know that they could have been fixed I would have recommended that route. I suppose I could learn on a stock mouthpiece. I see that it is tedious I think the only part that I would need understand better would be the measuring portion. I do not know of anyone in my area that fixes chips and its seems like it could be something good to learn just in case.
