Tip: Mouthpiece, airtightness and mouthpice screws of the VOLCANY Chromatic
On the VOLCANY the space in between the moutpiece and the comb is defined by the construction of the slider basis and the mouthpiece itself.
The tolerance is as is and the mouthpiece cannot be altered to be even more airtight by fastening the mouthpiece screws more and more. In fact the winding in the comb can suffer a lot by fastening the mouthpiece screws to tightly.
