Fine Vintage Saxophones
$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.

$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.
Item:WWS00.2121.4-C35G
SOLD - Each WWS Custom mouthpiece is hand-finished AND Play-Tested by Me! A great hard rubber mouthpiece, and they play nice with no resistance. The design is a small chamber with a very late mild roll-off baffle. Comes with a nice goldplated, metal ligature & cap.
WWS40.00.9111.3-CB10
SOLD - This is a composite plastic mouthpiece--white with black bite plate cushion installed. This received metal banding repair and refacing from Bob Carpenter and now has a tip size of 0.082" with a 17mm facing. It has a medium chamber with shallow side walls like a Martin, ebolin, or tonalin. sound-wise: it has a mild tubby-ness to it, smooth like classic jazz...Until you go up high. then the 82 tip opens up to a bit brighter, cutting ability. It responses best with a +2.75 size reed. No ligature.
Item:WSS00.00.30BC
$59.00 - Original tip was @ 0.055” (now a WWS Reface 0.071") , hard rubber, large chamber. Similar to a Conn eagle.
$79.00 - Vintage 1920/30s, Large Chamber, Tip .082" Refaced by Bob C.
$135.00 - Large chamber. I was refacing it to about 0.078". (to be finished, photos are 'during' reface.) I was coping the curve of my favorite Woodwind Co alto mpc. The metal table is extremely durable and difficult to reface. On the bright side, it will hold it's curve once it's setup.
