Fine Vintage Saxophones
SOLD - (touched up after photos) I refaced tip at 0.079" to copy my "Selmer NY" mouthpiece's curve ($299 listed below)! These are similar to 40's otto link in tone and much cheaper! Slant Bundy signature, no size walls. round, open chamber! These early ones with the open chamber are more sought after. Ask me about a ligature.

SOLD - original tip at 0.064", looks good just that vintage-green rubber look. very minor nick way up the tooth pad--not near the playing areas. These are similar to 40's otto link in tone and much cheaper! Chamber with size walls. Comes with brass ligature and brass cap.

SOLD - Original tip at 0.072", looks good just that vintage-green rubber look. very minor nicks in the tip that are NOT affecting the seal. These are similar to 40's otto link in tone and much cheaper! currently no ligature, sorry. Chamber with size walls.
$675.00 - (please inquire) David Sanborn lovers need to contact me! Comes with original Box, Ligature and cap! It arrived needing minor work on the table and tip seal; I did that and play-tested it. Now a near-original tip @ 0.077". It is a free-blowing mouthpiece with booming altissimo. Inspected and perfected!

SOLD - Recently back from a refacing by Bob Carpenter to a 0.079" with a 19mm facing. Bob marked his etching on the table too ("RAC")! A great hard rubber mouthpiece that will give you a warm full sound--It would have been originally paired with a Conn Chu. A large chamber on this one. Bob and I helped enhance the gold 'eagle' script.
NOTE: the original facing was "0.078" as it was inscribed. But a nick happened in the tip and BOB had to repair it. It now measures 0.079"
Sold - Vintage hard rubber from 1920/30s. Originally it was paired with a New Wonder . It has a large Chamber and I just had Bob Carpenter open it up to 0.080". It plays really easy. I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after Bob's work, it can cut through in the high register--still not as loud of a mpc as others. no ligature.

SOLD - $99.00 - Vintage hard rubber from 1920s(perhaps earlier). It has been refaced (elsewhere?) to tip size @ about 0.064". I THINK THIS COULD BE A SWEET SWEET PLAYER! It has a very large Chamber and that traditional 1920s stuffy tone but add in the high tones from the reface. no ligature, but ask me. (remind me to enhance the tip seal)
