Fine Vintage Saxophones
$125.00 - huge large chamber. I refaced it to a 0.076". (to be finished). The table had a mark like Woodwind Co. -- perhaps "L4, D4, or B4". It is hard to read now.
A great vintage tone from the large chamber. Very similar to Woodwind Co. designs. (compare at $200-250+).

$139.00 - I'm going to call these the [Committee III] model, because they came with that model of sax. Not expensive, really nice sound. Bob Carpenter has just refaced it to a 0.078."
Item: WSS00.00.11
$99.00 - An less expensive option, Recently back from a refacing by Bob Carpenter to a .080". A great plastic composite mouthpiece that will give you semi-vintage tone that plays easy like a modern mouthpiece. Medium, walled chamber on this one. no ligature.

SOLD - (touched up after photos) I refaced tip at 0.079" to copy my "Selmer NY" mouthpiece's curve ($299 listed below)! These are similar to 40's otto link in tone and much cheaper! Slant Bundy signature, no size walls. round, open chamber! These early ones with the open chamber are more sought after. Ask me about a ligature.

$675.00 - (please inquire) David Sanborn lovers need to contact me! Comes with original Box, Ligature and cap! It arrived needing minor work on the table and tip seal; I did that and play-tested it. Now a near-original tip @ 0.077". It is a free-blowing mouthpiece with booming altissimo. Inspected and perfected!

SOLD - Vintage hard rubber from 1930s. COOL! a "U.S. Navy" engraved side wall! It has a large Chamber and Original Tip @ 0.054" -- Let's reface that! I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after

$269.00 - Real smooth & Rich, large chamber S3 model. Script isWWS REFACE 0.074" . I will find a ligature to pair with it. These are hard to find mpcs and we love them. (this one actually has a 2-3mm shorter body{center of mpc} than the 0.070" listed here at the time of this posting. interesting)
SOUND: clean and focused
SOLD - (Consignment Sale: Plays Excellent!) ser # 333,7xx, These are fantastic altos--well respected, better than average ergos. This example is in excellent condition, Original Lacquer, They maintain the Buescher warmed but have a bigger sound from their exponential bore and the big bell. Comes in a nice vintage case. The original snap in system is intact, so Sarge did a complete "Original Buescher" style rebuild, with metal backed-press in pads and then snap in the original metal domes with natural cork throughout...and it will all go for:
