Place the beeswax in a closed glass jar or a clip seal plastic bag in full sun for half an hour or into the oven at very low heat (~60C° or 135F°) or place it in the microwave for 10 seconds. It should be soft and very easily pliable just like play dough or pottery clay. If the beeswax gets too hot it will become crumbly and unworkable. If that happensFor many, enlarging the throat is synonymous with “free-er blowing”. I believe that while the throat is the only component in the mouthpiece which has direct control over how much air actually passes through the mouthpiece, however, I feel that other factors contribute even more to the perception of air flow.

Also, mouthpiece mass also effects the perception of resistance, as both Bach, in the Megatone line, and Monette automatically increase the size of the throats of their heavyweight mouthpieces to compensate for the increased perception of resistance caused by the mass of the mouthpiece. The exterior mass of the mouthpiece cannot effect the actual quantity of air passing through the mouthpiece, but it does effect the perception of the player. As an aside, it has been my observation that “feel” is used too frequently in determining what is needed when choosing the instrument we play or the mouthpiece alterations we make. Sound is a much better judge in helping us determine the necessary changes in our equipment.
