$189.00 - This one arrived on its deathbed. 🙁 but Bob is amazing; he saved it--tooth groove, tip repair and reface! Bob Carpenter refaced the tip to a 0.100" with a 23mm facing--"RAC". It is a longer facing that my normal so my embouchure had to adjust to this piece but after I paired with a happier reed, it came alive (rico plastic coated 2.5 of all things). There are no cracks to mention. These have a medium chamber with shallow side walls.
