SOLD - These are fun, from the 80s. They have good focus with a mid, core tone and easy response. It arrived needing minor repair at the tip to level the seal. I did that, and set it up at a correct 'E' tip measuring 0.084", and silver plated it to perfection. small horseshoe chamber. Comes with original ligature and cap. plays great!

SOLD - Originally paired with a late Mark VI from 1973, this early vintage of the S80 was one of the first examples. hard rubber mouthpiece. Original tip measures 0.067".

Selmer ‘S-80 “LT” (Larry Teal, C*)’ Tenor, Rubber – 0.071″ (Archived)
SOLD- hard rubber mouthpiece. Original tip measures 0.071". These varied from the other models in the chamber. It is a round medium-small chamber--not square like S80 or horseshoe like the other scroll models. Comes with a vintage, used brass Selmer ligature. I just touched up the gold script too. It is a more modern edition (no scroll shank. shank matches the S80 era).
Otto Link ‘Slant Signature “Tone Edge” #6’ Tenor, Rubber, Series II (Archived)
SOLD - Iconic! - Made of some of the best hard rubber. wide table, side number stamp = series 2 model (of 3). The horizontal table markings are not quite there (not my doing). There will be no hype here. This is one of the most sought after tenor mouthpieces. It plays fantastic, as it should. It arrived with minor imperfections in the seal. It was cautiously and expertly repaired here at WWS. The tip may have opened about 0.0005" from that point. I will call this a darn-near Original Tip at 0.100". No paired ligature or cap or box to sent with it, sorry.

REFACED by Bob Carpenter to a 0.087". This plays super easy and has a nice Classical tone--partly muffled, resonant in the lower register.
