SOLD - no serial #. I had Bob C fill in the tooth pad, It had a larger tip than expected on arrival, It received some altering here enough to call it a "Refaced" example. WWS Reface: 0.072". SOUND: reserved-vintage tone. clearer tones up high allow treble to return, minor-subdued tone overall.
Brilhart ‘Tonalin 4*’ Alto, 1968-69 – 0.073″ (Archived)
SOLD - 1968-69 no serial #. Tip at 0.073". I happen to know a little history from this mouthpiece's journey to be able to date it. Although no serial #, I happen to know what horn the fellow was playing. If I link these two eras, they both line up with about 1968-9. I will have Bob C fill in the tooth pad, and I inspected the tip. The tip arrived in nice condition but the table has some bumps from in the case. We'll make this play great! Original Tip was: 0.073". Reface stayed the same 0.073" with an adjustment to the beginning of the curve.

Brilhart ‘Level-Air 5*’ Alto, 1974 Stainless
SOLD - This is a very nice, free blowing mpc -- tooth pad repaired in the past, and has two newer tooth marks on the top that I could easily cover up with a clear pad (remind me). It blows a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff baffle. later vintage series with up and down machining on the table. This is the more desirable 5*...hard to find, original tip measures 0.081". It blows really nice and free. comes with original cap and ligature! (please ask me to get these top-view pics uploaded)
Berg Larsen ’90-1-M (offset)’ Alto, Vintage Straightbill Stainless (Archived)
SOLD - This is original at 90-1-M (with the M off to the right, which is older style than the centered facing length markings). The Tip measures a common 0.087" for a Berg 90; plays loud, has a fat tone with a strong treble presence(loud/bright). It comes with the original ligature and cap.
***A very nice player! (and I'm not a huge fan of metal, Berg altos.)

Berg Larsen ’80-3-M’ Alto, 1970s (refaced) Scoopbill Stainless (Archived)
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?
