Fine Vintage Saxophones
SOLD - (non-pickle) Here is a very cool large chamber mouthpiece. It arrived in original tip so I just sent it off to Bob Carpenter to get it more modernized for Classical Music at 0.090" (for reference C* = 0.080"). It has very minor teeth scratches and the tip and rails look great. The smaller tip size and large chamber will accent the vintage nasally tone and be best suited for the concert band or small group blend. currently no lig, sorry.
Item #:WWS00.00.00.191.4-BC50
SOLD - Here is a rare Berg-like, a 1940-60s, bullet berg...?... Bob Carpenter says that these often didn't get stamped. There is a "5" marking on the side though, so it could be a stencil, similar to a late boattail. Tip measures @ 0.098"...But I will have to clean it up and perfect the Tip. It has very nice, meaty core tone and is very resonant; not bright at all. This is a dark-bark sound. The table has vertical marks, too. It arrived without a ligature but I found a vintage, brass tenor one that works well.

There is a "5" marking on the side though, so it could be a stencil, similar to a late boattail. Tip measures @ 0.100". This is a very nice player, so much so that this alto player really liked it!

SOLD - Made of hard rubber, it maintains a nice warmth. It arrived with a tiny 0.052 tip so I opened it up to 0.067". It responds very nice with a 2.5 reed and has strong presence and focus. I would call this a 'short shank' style; it also has a noticeable tight, smaller shank to fit on your neck cork(12.85mm vs. a modern C* 13.55mm). Medium round chamber. sorry, no ligature included. a rovner soprano will work great.
