Hello. I want to drill out my mouthpiece so that the stem is basically a straight shaft. I am sick to death of the limiting, pressured closed off sound it gives me.

I was just wondering, if I was to do this myself, how would i got about it?

Would there be a certain kind of drill bit? or otherwise procedure.

If all above suggests to you that I know too little about this procedure and should just get a pro machinist do to it, say so.

If I can do this myself with little knowledge, please instruct me how to do it

Thank you for your 45 seconds.
