Shortening the shank of a mouthpiece

Thanks Dan. That's what I thought.....there is no hard and fast rule. I have no problem trimming the mouthpieces. Since I like them all, I'm not worried about resale value.

Update: I altered the Giddings mouthpiece first because it had the least to trim. I took it down about 0.75 mm. The fit is perfect! No longer is it going past the beginning of the leadpipe in the receiver.
