Mouthpiece restoration and modification

I just learned that Vladimir from Dillon Music has retired... Hooray for him... but I'm not sure where to send stuff now. The person at Dillon is out the rest of the day and I'll call tomorrow to see what they still offer.

But who else out there might be willing to take on these thankless jobs like replating (plus prep work), turning down the shank to a different size, etc...

I’ve had good luck with Anderson Plating. Greg Black also did a very nice job on a mod and replate, but I’m told that I got lucky as he doesn’t do that kind of work regularly.

Thanks Hal!

I know Anderson does the plating... But would they also do the prep work, shank adjustments, etc...?

They do clean-up of rims, at least they did for me. They may do more, but you'll have to ask. Call/email them, they're good about answering questions.

I recall that I used to have a list of folks who do mp mods, but I looked for it, and it seems to have disappeared. I did quick search, and noticed Osmun has it listed among their other services. Might be worth a call.

Lee Stofer would be the man.

Thanks!

I talked to Baltimore Brass, and they recommended Stork. A quick call to Stork confirmed that it should be easy stuff for them to do the work.
