Replacing a broken mouthpiece tip

This Martin Freres Paris mouthpiece was made on a Chedeville-Lelandais blank and has the "qualité superieure" stamp without any facing indication number, which is a bit unusual. The broken part of the tip was missing, and I used Riffault for tip replacement (it was already unusable for anything else). This project took 2 days, because the epoxy had to solidify completely, and sculpting a new tip is not an easy task. I think it was worth the effort!

In my 50 years as a musician, having gone to every refacer in the US, your restoration work is absolutely the best.... Outstanding. work...

I have a B45 Lyre engraved logo and a Kaspar Ann Arbor with broken tips, though I don't know if they worth fixing them since I already play fine with either M13, M13 Lyre and M15.

The Kaspar is probably worth the effort. Also, I can customize it to your preferences, while remaining faithful to the maker's original intentions.

Salve, si può verniciare un mouthpiece? Grazie!

[@markszavin5050]

Hi, I never tried to paint a mouthpiece. I only add some golden acrylic paint to my engraved logo. One thing to keep in mind is that most paints are not food-safe and may release harmful chemicals over prolonged use if the painted part is in your mouth. I would refrain from painting a mouthpiece.
