SOLD - Looks like nickel plated brass, arrived with original tip at 0.093". wrap ligature, on arrival. good condition. large square chamber. TONE: This was a shocker! It was rich, not 'trebly' or shrill on a 2.5 Alexander reed with a great response.

Ponzol ‘”Vintage”Rubber – C*’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.067″
$89.00 - Nice hard rubber design. Designed to blend the best of the Vintage & Modern tones, folks say this has [an old Otto Link or Meyer tone, without that hefty price tag.] ...although I had to finesse the factory table and facing, this one will play great. I just enhanced it to ~ 0.067". It plays clean with brighter abilities to push!. It has a medium(like a Meyer)-round chamber with rounded side walls. I expect a great blowing piece, excellent center core tone, with projection. no lig sorry.
PLAY TEST: slightly brighter abilities to cut through than expected. Still Meyer-esque, but with a bit more punch.

SOLD - I was pleased to get this piece, they are really good quality hard rubber, great over all sound. It has a large chamber and was a 5* WS model, but we had Bob Carpenter open it to a .082" tip and it's just perfect now.

Other: ‘York’ Alto, 1920s/30s Rubber – 0.051″
$89.00 - Vintage hard rubber from 1920s/30s. It has a VERY LARGE Chamber, no baffle (yet) and Original Tip @ 0.051" -- Let's reface that! It will play easy. I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after Mine or Bob's work, it can cut through in the high register--still not as loud of a mpc as others. no ligature currently, ask me.

Other: ‘No Name- White Composite’ Alto, (RAC reface)- 0.082″ (Archived)
SOLD - Here is a White composite plastic mouthpiece and it's very nice. We got it with its original tip and Bob Carpenter opened it up to a .082" with a 19mm facing... and it is easy to blow, makes a big vintage tone, with just a little edge. It's a medium/small chamber, fat sound(similiar to an Ebolin), with a great price.

Other: ‘No Name’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.077″
$69.00 - Vandoren Look - Made of a unique hard rubber, it has a shallow beak and high chamber build, low baffle and slight rollover at the tip from my reface. It is now refaced to 0.077". The chamber is almost a standard "medium" except it has some rounded sidewalls that don't protrude too far.
