Fine Vintage Saxophones
SOLD - A 1970s era Scoopbill with dropoff chamber & made of Stainless Steel. This one arrived after being altered to sub-par standards. You can barely see the curved machine marks on the table that go left to right. Just back from Bob Carpenter who repaired it back to a much improved playability...tip @ 0.085". It has a stick-on guard (blue) to prevent ligature wear. no ligature, sorry. Nice Berg sound--Deep, Loud w/o shrillness. Why buy new models at 170?

SOLD - HARD RUBBER, slight rollover baffle at the tip into a straight baffle slope. The walls are straight into a medium-small chamber. It's partly unique (factory machining style). The original tip was 089, I just got it back from Bob C. Tip refaced to 0.100". The tip repair came out great.
SOLD - A modern hard Rubber, medium chamber, and lower baffle mouthpiece. I can inspect the table and do minor refacing adjustments to create excellent seal. Just ask. Tip at 0.101" (compare to a Selmer C* at 0.080), These have a focus and good core suitable for many jazz players. ask me about a ligature. I have some Rovners, +$15. Compare New at $140.00.

SOLD - "Ideal" R3 baritone: Hard Rubber, medium-large chamber mouthpiece. Tip at 0.070" (compare to a Selmer C* at 0.080), These are nice Classical mouthpieces. The "ideal" mpc on the sound file is only a "3" (not R3). "R" = their larger chamber. This is one that I would offer a Bob Carpenter reface for $60 more if you need to sculpt it to you liking. Sorry, no ligature.
