Repairing a Chipped Tip 

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 RU-vid video I have ever watched now! Thanks

Thanks for publishing these. Great information here.

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..

Great video and nice work!

This was very helpful, thank you for sharing.

Why not put a tiny bit of epoxy dye in the JB Weld to make it black. The smallest amount on a needle point would work perfect. Nice job!!

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

Try adding a bit of graphite lock lube to the epoxy. It blackens the epoxy I use great and doesn't take much at all to do it.

Is it safe to use superglue on a clairinet?

What other glue that can be used to fix the clarinet mouthpiece? I only cracked it a little, the chipped is still intact.

Great video : We see it is not a quick fix but possible. Is it strong enough of a 'hold' to fix a chipped tenon? The stress of use would be a bit different.

Hello , I wanted to make an inquiry , I have a link master tenor sax numero 4 , and 5 wanted change , few millimeters have to have the opening ? ones would have to iron single curve beginning? will have some video to show me. I am from Argentina . tools have the digital gauge . thx

Are you using JBWeld’s “original Cold-Weld formula steel reinforced epoxy”? I went to buy some Jb Weld, and they had many, many similar but different options! Thanks.

I have Martin Two Star Tenor mouth piece I want to try this on. It has a much smaller chip, but a crack as well. I wonder if the crack can be filled in. Thanks.

What do you use to apply the epoxy onto the mouthpiece--the part of the video that is missing. This is very helpful!

I have tried using this stuff for tooth gouges on my pieces and a deeply chipped shank but I'm finding it doesn't set hard enough. It's more like rubber than plastic. Is it a problem with my proportions?

Where did you find the stuff that you put on the mouth piece. You know, the black and white stuff?

I was just wondering how much it would cost to fix a Yamaha 4c mouthpiece that chipped on the left top corner and about how long would it take

Where did you get the angled sanding sticks?

can you make a mouth peice using this method ,and can you play with the metal reed

I have an old Berg rubber mouthpiece that needs a new tip like this video and a tooth bite indentation that needs repair. Is it possible for me to send you my mouthpiece for repairing. Do you offer this service via post? I don't trust myself to do it myself to be honest. Let me know. John

So i had a marching festival saturday and i chipped my alto mouthpiece sooooo

Do you know how to fix a chipped Selmer S-80 Star mouth piece and if yes, can I send it to you by mail?

Wow man! I’ve been wondering how to do that. That is the flat stone material you use in this video? Well done.

So I broke my bari mouthpiece, but i still have the part that chipped off. Any suggestions on how to fix it? If not, How much would it be to repair it?

What kind of glue do you use?

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?

where did you get the sanding sticks??

Uhm.. small question.. how do you find out what size mouthpiece your using

Must we mix the two glue, together. Or we can choose.

So you take orders? just found this, have a minor, doesn't affect playability, chip along the top of the tip of the mouthpiece, very small, might not be possible or really difficult, would love to have it fully covering the reed, its just a small little bit, hard to see from far.

So is this welding stuff toxic to put in your mouth? I’m just reading the container

Do you know if this exact method will work on a Selmer C-Star mouthpiece?

have you ever heard of someone using something like slate im place of sandpaper laid on glass? I feel like it would last much much longer and be even more stable.. but i know how people are about their traditions.

i hardly know what any the tolls you are using but imma wing it and fix the trash mouthpiece my band director gave me

How to repair mouthpiece upper teeth part

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.
