SOLD - FANTASTIC SOUND! WWS refaced 0.080"(photos of reface "in progress"), medium chamber with side walls.
I fully expect, due to the design of this one, that it will be a VERY NICE BLOWER! I will give it the extra time for a precision reface.
Other: ‘A. Lelandais Chantecler IV Custom’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.081″
$179.00 - Hard Rubber, in non-original facing, I had to drastically help this mouthpiece be able to play by leveling the table and refacing it myself. I knew it would be worth saving. I refaced to 0.081”,(photos are Before reface) Large round chamber-with custom bullet baffle! plays great! bold and focused. I want to help find a ligature for this one. It's a unique size. So I had to modify a soprano wrap with some cork inserts. (included)
Consider this: a vintage hard rubber mouthpiece, refaced with 3x the time needed, knowledge & inspection, and a sized ligature, ONE-OF-A-KIND MOUTHPIECE...
***AMAZINGLY FREE BLOWING, RAW POWER (bright tones) and there's only one out there!

Wolfe Tayne ‘7*’ Alto, Nickel Plated Brass (Archived)
SOLD - Looks like nickel plated brass, arrived with original tip at 0.093". wrap ligature, on arrival. good condition. large square chamber. TONE: This was a shocker! It was rich, not 'trebly' or shrill on a 2.5 Alexander reed with a great response.

Ponzol ‘”Vintage”Rubber – C*’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.067″
$89.00 - Nice hard rubber design. Designed to blend the best of the Vintage & Modern tones, folks say this has [an old Otto Link or Meyer tone, without that hefty price tag.] ...although I had to finesse the factory table and facing, this one will play great. I just enhanced it to ~ 0.067". It plays clean with brighter abilities to push!. It has a medium(like a Meyer)-round chamber with rounded side walls. I expect a great blowing piece, excellent center core tone, with projection. no lig sorry.
PLAY TEST: slightly brighter abilities to cut through than expected. Still Meyer-esque, but with a bit more punch.

Other: ‘Sumner Acousticut’ Alto, (RAC reface)- 0.082″ (Archived)
SOLD - I was pleased to get this piece, they are really good quality hard rubber, great over all sound. It has a large chamber and was a 5* WS model, but we had Bob Carpenter open it to a .082" tip and it's just perfect now.

Other: ‘York’ Alto, 1920s/30s Rubber – 0.051″
$89.00 - Vintage hard rubber from 1920s/30s. It has a VERY LARGE Chamber, no baffle (yet) and Original Tip @ 0.051" -- Let's reface that! It will play easy. I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after Mine or Bob's work, it can cut through in the high register--still not as loud of a mpc as others. no ligature currently, ask me.

Other: ‘No Name- White Composite’ Alto, (RAC reface)- 0.082″ (Archived)
SOLD - Here is a White composite plastic mouthpiece and it's very nice. We got it with its original tip and Bob Carpenter opened it up to a .082" with a 19mm facing... and it is easy to blow, makes a big vintage tone, with just a little edge. It's a medium/small chamber, fat sound(similiar to an Ebolin), with a great price.
