SOLD - what a fun mouthpiece. Bob Carpenter refaced the tip to a 0.098". It has a long facing. I also had Bob patch a tooth groove. I have since installed a black foam tooth cushion. This has a much larger presence to the tone and a big sound. There are no cracks to mention. These have a medium chamber with shallow side walls. AND it is a 5-digit serial #87942 (higher demand, higher price). Everyone loves a #5 or higher number Tonalin. This one will be no exception. sorry, no ligature, just ask.
Brilhart ‘Tonalin 5’ Tenor, early 50s Ser# 37945 (Archived)
SOLD - with script in beautiful condition. FIVE DIGIT SERIAL NUMBER! This one plays really nice with decent focus for a Tonalin. I'm biased, but I love these. A good smooth Stan Getz type sound. Original Tip size at 0.085", no tooth grooves. no ligature. There are two crack evidences, all too common on these. I would recommend banding it but I will offer two prices.

SOLD- This mpc is a nice free blowing mpc with a tip measuring 0.092" (not normal for a " 5 " ). Ser # 4371 There is a small tooth imprint that I covered with a clear bite tab--typical on these. It blows a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff-style baffle. early 4-digit vintage series with side-to-side machining on the table (meaning: the early era of likely the 1960s).
