SOLD - Yep. The Bomb right here. The handmade greatness. The sound is awesome; made to mimic King Curtis--Sarge's favorite--there is a high baffle and cutout. The Brecker handmade model screams! Very bright with strong power and depth, super free blowing.
Other: ‘York’ Soprano, Rubber, Large Chamber (WWS Reface) – 0.056″
SOLD - Large Chamber - Recommended for vintage sopranos! Rubber, arrived with an original tip that was too closed to enjoy. LARGE CHAMBER, and a slight rollover baffle from the reface. The look of the mouthpiece reminds me of some older Buescher 'pickles' with the ring-lip at the shank; but I am not certain on that. The photos are prior to the finished reface and you are free to help guide to with how much baffle you'd like left in there.
Claude Lakey ‘5*’ Soprano, (WWS reface)- 0.073″ (Archived)
SOLD - Rubber, arrived with an original tip at 0.065". I know I can help it play great and improve its response.
INSPECTION REQUIRED (WWS refacing work - level table, clean up the tip seal) no ligature, on arrival.
Otto Link ‘Tone Master – 5’ Tenor, 1940s (WWS Reface) – 0.085″ (Archived)
SOLD - A #5 Tone Master tenor mouthpiece with original ligature - both at about 15% original plating on arrival. This mouthpiece has serial # K72 on it. It arrived with the tip at the original 0.080" tip size and the tip and rails are in good shape but they were uneven on one side. This was addressed in a reface and now the tip sits at 0.085".
TONE: Known for huge tone/resonance, "vintage smoke", Dexter Gordon all day. Evenness and sultry. These mouthpieces are known for ....vintage greatness.
Selmer ‘”Soloist” – C**’ Tenor, 2010s Long Scroll Shank – 0.080″
SOLD $189.00 - New era design is a copy of the vintage horseshoe chamber. The horseshoe chamber appears to be between the eras of the short shank and the long shank design -- splitting them 50/50 in width and height! I think there's some real hope in this one!!!
Used, in excellent condition.
Otto Link ‘”Tone Edge” #7’ Tenor, Rubber, 1990s – 0.102″ (Archived)
SOLD - Originally bought new in a large lot from the 1990s. Note, oddly enough, the ligature is a bit loose to be a good fit.
Medium Chamber - built for "classic Jazz".
[like new, in excellent condition.]
This is NOT like the new ones that are hit and miss. This is a quality Otto Link material and design.
Other: Connetable ‘Metallic – Benny Carter #5’ Alto, (RAC Reface)- 0.072″
SOLD - A huge, large chamber mouthpiece that has a design that reminds me of an Otto Link Master model (plus, the lig has a thick read plate too). It was originally silver plated, as you can see, and I've opted to leave the plating original for now. You are free to request some silver plating. Shank markings: "3 Rue Duperre" ... which may have been the place of manufacturing! ... it is currently an address in Paris that is about 2.5 miles NE of the Eiffel Tower.
Refaced by Expert refacer Bob Carpenter, and final finishing work precision done by Chadd here at WWS. It is a unusually neat mouthpiece. We were glad to save it.
A very easy blower, even with the tip size. It plays with a MEDIUM-warm tone quality, mostly dark with the ability to push it over the top.
Please inquire for additional information.

Runyon ‘Custom Series #8’ Soprano, Composite – 0.066″
SOLD - A unique Runyon mouthpiece made of a rubber blend. The baffle has a mid-rollover and the chamber shoots into a medium-small round throat. That's geek-talk for: this has a bit of crispness in the projection. I hear that a Rovner 1RXS ligature will fit this mouthpiece.
