Woodwind Co. ‘New York “J5″‘ Alto, (WWS reface)- 0.078” (Archived)

SOLD - Terrific material and good classic design. Larger chamber makes for a big vintage sound. reminds me of a slant signature sound but a but more 'round'/less focus with the WWS Refaced tip at 078". I have to say, I did my very best to copy my personal Woodwind Co. mpc. This one plays darker than my personal favorite, but just as free blowing. size of 0.065". No ligature, notice the lack of tooth pad design, we'll include a cushion if you'd like to play. Most buyers like these to strictly look at though.

Wagner ‘JK Blank’ Alto, Rubber – 0.061″

SOLD - here's another winner!--a cheap option: hard rubber. No script. medium-large chamber...poised for a nice, crisp, jazz tone. Originally 0.061" on arrival, It will get reface and play crisp and clear! Likely to about 0.063-068"...or check in to see if you can request the size! Comes with one screw ligature!
Current play test: medium resistance. I'm not sure if I like that, and would certainly look into the tip for finesse work. This should be a very clear, clean tone, with free-blowing traits.
