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!

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: ‘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.
