A number of months ago I wrote an article about the Arnold Brilhart-designed Rico Metalite mouthpieces<\/a>. In that post, I mentioned how some players have experimented with making their own baffles, and I offered a\u00a0suggestion for some materials that could be used if you were interested in trying to\u00a0turn a\u00a0regular Graftonite mouthpiece<\/a>,\u00a0into more of a hybrid piece,\u00a0in an attempt to duplicate some of the Metalite’s qualities.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I recently came across a post from MojoBari, on SOTW’s Rico Metalite Fans<\/a>\u00a0thread,\u00a0where he suggested the following materials for homemade baffles:<\/p>\n

Start with experimenting with temporary putty. I use poster hanging putty since it comes out easy. But dental wax is easier to shape and stays in better. ~$2, sold near the dental floss, etc. Use a Popsicle stick or something similar to shape it into a baffle that looks like the Metalite baffle shape. You could also use Silly Putty or Play-Doh.<\/p>\n

For a more permanent baffle, use epoxy plumbers putty. Or send it out for the work if you do not want to do-it-yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I should note that MojoBari wasn’t referring specifically to doing this on Graftonites. As a matter of fact, he was referring to fitting baffles into mouthpieces with a slim body, but the principle and materials involved apply to all\u00a0mouthpieces.<\/p>\n
