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.
