One of the most loved hard rubber mouthpieces, these are very versatile and can cross many genres.

Since a "B" tip is lacks demand or use to most people, it was best suited to make this a "D" tip size -- which is also in high demand. Comes with Selmer lig and cap ($$).

CAP & LIGATURE: note the small dent in the cap. 

TONE: It does play a little on the brighter side from the refacing enlargement, some baffle was left in place. The baffle could be sanded down further to help darken the tone also. But since you can't really put the rubber back after sanding too far, we'll leave it here until a request for alteration is made be the new owner.  ***Meaning, if you buy it for keeps(not for trial), I'm happy to darken it up by lowering the baffle by removing rubber material.
