I refaced this MPC for Evghenii Botnar of Galicia, Spain. Originally, it looked like some mice had bit out the middle of the tip rail like a piece of cheese. It started as a 4 and ended as an 8.
The process:
- Reshape the tip with a large file.
- Reshape the baffle.
- Smooth transitions in chamber.
- Put on a new tip.
- Reshape the baffle near the tip.
- Put a new tip on.
- Put on a utility facing.
- Flatten the table.
- Play the MPC.
- Move the facing back while removing curve fulcrum stations.
- Pull facing to the left.
- Flatten table again.
- Play the MPC.
- Repeat the last few steps several times.
When some curve got back into the facing, it started performing much better.
This MPC projects very well with soft reeds. I like the feel of soft, vintage reeds on this MPC. An old Vibra Standard worked much better than a Rico 3.
