REFACED by Bob Carpenter to a 0.087". This plays super easy and has a nice Classical tone--partly muffled, resonant in the lower register. Baffle looks like Guardala 15%, or Berg 15% -- the slight bullet drop.

Martin ‘[Committee III]’ Tenor, (WWS reface)- 0.076″

SALE $49.00 - I'm going to call these the [Committee III] model, because they came with that model of sax. Here is an 50s/60s Martin plastic mouthpiece (originally paired with "The Martin ____" horns) . They are good players with a mild-vintage tone--a bit more nasal tone compared to #1 above due to the enhanced tip by me is a 0.076". Plastic mouthpiece with a Medium-Small chamber with flat sidewalls (slightly larger than Brilhart Ebolins). slight tooth marks. Comes with brass ligature.
