Hi Paul, Thanks for your question. A gap adjustment can be helpful for intermediate and advance players. Once a player can create a good sound and articulation on a consistent basis, they are good enough to feel the difference in a change in the gap. It only takes a few minutes to try out paper trick (bobreeves.com/papertrick) and if you notice a difference when doing it then changing the gap will matter.
I picked up a few Bob Reeves Purviance mouthpieces. 9A, 9F, and 9 How can I tell if they are orginal and not made later. I also have a Jermone callet V.F DT 7 if you have any info about that one I would appreciate it. Thanks
Does this matter for a beginner or come back player?

Hi Edward, Thank you for your comment. Feel free to contact us at info@bobreeves.com and we can help you verify your Purviance mouthpieces.
DT 7? Are you sure it’s not a DT 10? That was made for Dave Trigg back in the day. It was the model I played many years ago. I still have one today.
With the reciever , you create a double gap? No?
