SOLD - From Sarge's Collection! - Full Package: Box, ligature and cap! Recently released to be listed "for sale" from Sarge's Collection. This mouthpiece has serial # M100 on it. It plays like butter. TONE: Huge tone/resonance, "vintage smoke", Dexter Gordon all day. Evenness and sultry. These mouthpieces are known for ....vintage greatness.
Otto Link ‘Super Tone Master – 5’ Tenor, FL-Double Band – 0.081″
SOLD - Full Package: Box, ligature and cap! Who doesn't love a double-band? It arrived with a 0.079" tip that had a poor tip seal and unlevel table. I hate altering these great pieces, ...but it needed done. This era is a great era of mouthpieces and it now plays easy after the refacing work.
TONE: Huge tone/resonance in the low end, a more medium tone in the middle and high ranges. Evenness and sultry. This era is known for ....greatness.
I know you'll want to try this one.
WWS Refacing work: pending - seal plating (silver and gold on the table/entire mouthpiece!), included at the listing price.
PRICING OPTION: Ask me about refacing it, opening it up some more. Realistically, the max tip to get to on this one will be about 0.090-095". For the pricing of $1,199.00, this will also include plating the repairs.
(Thus, that is why the mouthpiece is in it's rough, arrival condition. PLATING WILL HAPPEN ONCE YOU HELP ME LOCK IN THE TIP SIZE. I only want to plate it once.)

Meyer ‘6S “Made in USA”‘ Tenor, 1970s (RAC reface)- 0.100”
SOLD - It's tip at 0.100" is now closer to a [Meyer 9]. It plays with a bold presence due to the boost of treble from the baffle during the refacing. i would say this is a ca. 1970's mfg. It's in excellent condition and of course i sent it to Bob to perfect the tip and facing. He has made this one a .100" tip , with a 22mm facing length.
Gregory ‘Model B, 4A 18’ Tenor, 1940s(+/-) Ser# 6265 (Archived)
SOLD - Original tip measures 0.065". The brother to the Model A (Paul Desmond on alto), the Model B is quite different. It is a slimmer design (pictures) and the chamber has flat sidewalls--not a round exit like the Model A. In tone, it is more focused with more reedy tone than the Model-A. The beak continues to be very shallow, so no biting without protection. I found a substitute ligature to fit.

Brilhart ‘Level-Air 5*’ Tenor, 1973 Ser#73,173 – 0.089″(Archived)
SOLD - This mpc is a nice free blowing mpc with a tip measuring 0.089". Tooth pad in excellent shape. It blows easy and with a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff-style baffle. Vertical denim table marks date it to the 70s as well. These are made of stainless steel.
Currently paired with the original ligature and cap (these are often lost and someone may try to separate these from me).

Woodwind Co. ‘New York “B6″‘ Tenor, (BP Refaced) – 0.110” (Archived)
SOLD - Terrific material and good classic design. Large chamber makes for a big vintage sound. It arrived with the engraved "BP 0.110" on the side with excellent finish work by Brian - Super professional! I liked it but I felt that it was missing ... just that 'extra umph'. It is opened up a ton from the original to a easy blowing 0.110" with a 25mm facing length.
Selmer ‘”Soloist E”‘ Alto, 1950s Short Scroll Shank – 0.079″ (Archived)
SOLD - Very rare, desirable "Soloist E" + single screw ligature!!! Made of excellent hard rubber, these mouthpieces have the horseshoe chamber and offer a clean, warm, vintage tone that can do many genres - that's probably helped the demand go up.
The tip measures 0.079" (+) and is a bit on the [larger] side for most alto players. Good for legit, concert band, or orchestra work, or subtle, vintage jazz, lead alto or solo work! I bought this from a friend who had it with her Super Balance Action (SBA) alto that she was the second owner of; it's likely that she may have had this as the original mouthpiece that was paired with her 1950s SBA.
LIGATURE and CAP: vintage single-screw ligature ($+100) and cap. I don't really plan to split these up.

Selmer ‘S80 – D’ Soprano – 0.052″ (Archived)
SOLD - Hard rubber, focused sound, easy response. It's a bit aged (green) but in good condition. Legit for concert band but able to cross genres too--square chamber mpcs. It arrived with factory 0.050 (incorrect for "D")...Tip will measure ~0.052" after I clean up the seal. It will play great. Sorry no lig or cap...yet.
