[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 265738, member: 192"] Like Kyle, tl;dr However, I do not buy used pipes, neither do I sell them, therefore I suspect most of it wouldn't apply to me. I would not hesitate to modify a pipe if I saw the need. I have opened shanks and stems in a couple of pipes that had them too tight. I have also worked the mortise-tenon fit of some pipes that did not pass a pipe cleaner all the way. I can remember some that were altered, but forgot most. By the way, they were all expensive pipes, such as Castellos, Beckers, at least one Dunhill, etc. I had to alter every single Tinsky I ever bought (well, I only bought two, so my sample is small). The above does not count the ones I had altered by professional repair men. Not counting repairs, I had a number of mouthpieces custom made. [/QUOTE]
