it appears  that this is a common feature of Schilke 
mouthpieces.  They are  longer and they fit some trumpets differently than 
others.  I guess for  now I'll try it with no gap and see how it 
goes.  By the time I add  the cost of the used pieces and the cost of having 
them shortened I might as  well have bought a new one.

Thank  again!

=============================
 
The labor on the Reeves Sleeves modification I did was about 70 bucks quite  
a few years ago, several times what I paid for the piece.  However, I don't  
regret doing it at all.  I have had Reeves to do some other kind of  creative 
things in the past, too, like grafting a Schilke rim onto a Bach 3  cornet 
piece.  If you are going to keep the mouthpieces and use them for  many years, the 
cost is not that big of a deal.
