Woodwind ‘Sparkle Aire B5*’ Tenor, (RAC reface)- 0.090″ (Archived)

SOLD - Terrific hard rubber material and good classic design. Large chamber makes for a big vintage sound. LATE DESIGN for Woodwind models: this body has similar shank design as Selmer Goldentone models, but the interior scream "Woodwind Co. sound" all the way! Original facing "B5*" marking, arrived original tip at 0.067"...So I asked Bob Carpenter to fix it. It is now a VERY FREE BLOWING 0.090"! Amazing ease of air. Sorry, on ligature currently.

Wagner/Keilwerth ‘Slimline 8*’ Tenor, (WWS reface) – 0.107″

$249.00 - A really nice hard rubber mouthpiece with the "JK" logo faint on the shank. It arrived at an original small tip 6 but with a chip. So I refaced it to a JK 8* or 0.107" at the tip. This is now a Wagner 11*, Otto Link 7**, or Meyer 10* by size. It is a fantastic player! It has a mild warmth, nice focus, but big tone from the tip. sound is strong in the MID range, response is great! It has a small baffle and medium side walls. Currently paired it with a alto, leather, rovner-like wrap.

Selmer ‘”Soloist C”‘ Tenor, 1950s Short Scroll Shank, (WWS reface)- 0.065″ (Archived)

SOLD - Hard Rubber mouthpiece, excellent quality hard. It arrived original but shy of the correct tip size, also with those 2 little nicks in the tip (before photo), so I perfected the seal, and cleaned the tip to set it up at a proper 0.065" for a "C". Good for legit, concert band, or orchestra work, or subtle vintage jazz. Comes with tooth cushion installed and working ligature.
