Yamaha ‘YSS-L1’ Soprano, 1970s – 0.049″ (Archived)

SOLD - A rare Yamaha soprano mouthpiece made of hard rubber or blended composite (it definitely has some rubber). Straight baffle, straight side walls into a very small round chamber. This one is in great condition and also has a thin front tip rail --that's a good thing and not all had that.
This mouthpiece is to a  Yamaha 61 (purple logo) what the Selmer S-80 became to Selmer. It was paired with the pro Yamahas.
With original, grooved ligature! (and a Selmer cap. PS-I will clean the green on the cap up for you.)

Selmer ‘”JAZZ” E’ Tenor, 1950s Silver Plated – 0.085″ (Archived)

SOLD - These are neat mouthpieces from 1955+(short shank). They have good focus with a mid, core tone and easy response. It's a metal mouthpiece without a cutting, bright tone - just a bit more kick than a rubber version. There is a little natural wear on the table and for now I left it all 100% original. If you want it further inspected and sealed with plating, that can be discussed.
Comes with a functioning, non-Selmer ligature.

Conn ‘Eagle’ Baritone, 1920s – 0.070″

SOLD - The original tip is 0.070" right now. Help direct us to how best to size the time to you (It will likely not go higher than 0.105"). Notice the lower walls cutout for comfort - cool! A great large chamber mouthpiece made of hard rubber mouthpiece from the golden era. If you want it closer to original with minor inspections and enhancements, the price will be $229.00
These were commonly paired with New Wonder I or II saxes originally.

Conn ‘Eagle’ Baritone, 1920s – 0.062″ (Archived)

SOLD - The original tip is 0.062" right now. Large chamber. Notice the lower walls cutout for comfort - cool! A great large chamber mouthpiece made of hard rubber mouthpiece from the golden era. If you want it closer to original with minor inspections and enhancements, the price will be $229.00. I offer this for the more traditional player...or those with less air.
These were commonly paired with New Wonder I or II saxes originally.
