Can you remove the mouthpieces from Sweetones to retune them...... like you would do with a Generation? I have plenty of experience with Generations, but will it hurt the Sweetones?...... mind you they're unplayable at the moment anyway because they're out of tune. Slainte alison |

Whether it does them any good or not, I've whipped the mouthpiece of them to adjust up and down in sessions, and it seems to work OK. The ones I've got seem to be liable to corrosion at the top end where the mouthpiece fits on, butyou can rub it off or ignore it. So yes, anyway, works for me. Bobby Bob.
