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.

INSPECTION REQUIRED (WWS refacing work - level table, clean up the tip seal) no ligature, on arrival.
Brilhart ‘Level-Air 5’ Tenor, 1960s Ser# 10749 – 0.090″ (Archived)
SOLD - This mpc is a nice free blowing mpc with a tip measuring 0.090". Ser # 10749 There was a small tooth imprint that Bob C repaired. I may cover the bite pad with a clear bite tab--typically needed on these mouthpieces. It blows a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff-style baffle.
Early vintage series with side-to-side machining on the table (meaning: the early era of likely the 1960s).
Comes with the original ligature and cap.
Woodwind Co. ‘New York “B4*”‘ Alto – 0.054” (Archived)
SOLD - Terrific hard rubber material and good classic design. LARGE CHAMBER makes for a big vintage sound. Original facing "B4*" marking, arrived original tip at 0.054". Reface?: You can help request the sizing of it. These are some of my favorite mouthpieces and you can bet that I'll copy my favorite Woodwind that is ~ 0.074".
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.
Brilhart ‘Level-Air 10*’ Tenor, 1960s Ser# 8453 (WWS) – 0.110″ (Archived)
SOLD - A very rare #10*!!! with a 4-digit ser#: 8453, with horizontal machining mark on the table (prior to repairs) dates it to the early era of the 1960s.
It arrived with an unlevel table and tip, however, It was worked on here at WWS. Although it seems a bit low for a 10*, 0.110" is the current measurement. Prior to the work, the table had horizontal machine lines and you can see the small amount I left near the window. These are made of stainless steel and are extremely hard to work on; however at a #10* I knew I wanted to save it/improve it.
It plays big and robust - not for the beginner.
Now there is a bite pad installed over the very small indents on the bite pad.
At the time of this listing I do NOT have a ligature in the shop for this. But you are free to inquire; that fact may change.early 4-digit vintage series with side-to-side machining on the table (meaning: the early era of likely the 1960s).

Selmer ‘”Soloist” – C**’ Tenor, 2010s Long Scroll Shank – 0.080″ (Archived)
SOLD - 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.
