Wow!

It's my understanding that when Gary decides to "clone" a mouthpiece, he only goes so far with it. In my understanding of the procedure, he uses much the same technology that Kanstul uses to obtain the exact dimensions, but he then runs those dimensions though his own modeling program and actually "improves" upon the original design by making minor adjustements to balance the mouthpiece for optimal playing efficiency, something that may have been lacking in the original.

That's my understanding of how GR reproduces mouthpieces of other makes and designs.
