Brilhart ‘Level-Air 5*’ Alto, 1974 Stainless

SOLD - This is a very nice, free blowing mpc -- tooth pad repaired in the past, and has two newer tooth marks on the top that I could easily cover up with a clear pad (remind me). It blows a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff baffle. later vintage series with up and down machining on the table. This is the more desirable 5*...hard to find, original tip measures 0.081". It blows really nice and free. comes with original cap and ligature! (please ask me to get these top-view pics uploaded)

Berg Larsen ’80-3-M’ Alto, 1970s (refaced) Scoopbill Stainless (Archived)

SOLD - A 1970s era Scoopbill with dropoff chamber & made of Stainless Steel. This one arrived after being altered to sub-par standards. You can barely see the curved machine marks on the table that go left to right. Just back from Bob Carpenter who repaired it back to a much improved playability...tip @ 0.085". It has a stick-on guard (blue) to prevent ligature wear. no ligature, sorry. Nice Berg sound--Deep, Loud w/o shrillness. Why buy new models at 170?
