SOLD - Here is another awesome, rare mouthpiece. heavy body brass design, ser# "X324". This mouthpiece blows really well and the tip is 0.105" (refaced by "a guy") and then improved seal by me. The bite plate is a replacement (black). I opted to buff off refacer's name because I would not want my name on it looking like that--plus, he doesn't get credit for my tight seal. Now with it so clean, I was tempted to plate it (since it's already slightly unoriginal)--now it's Rose Gold. These are often equated with Otto Links, however these have a small chamber. These are commonly seen and sought after in the #5 and #7 so this one is priced very nicely at:
...now 399.00 with pro reface(s), and non-original BG gold ligature but it needs help, and now Rose Gold Plated
Woodwind Co. ‘New York #5’ Tenor, Brass, Ser# X359 – 0.093″ (Archived)
SOLD - Here is another awesome, rare mouthpiece. heavy body brass design, ser# "X359". This mouthpiece blows really well and the tip is 0.093". On arrival it was a 0.092" but the table and tip seal needed my light touch. I wanted to keep this as true to the #5 as possible. These are often equated with Otto Links, however these have a smaller chamber. These are commonly seen and sought after in the #5 and #7 so this one is priced very nicely.
Woodwind Co. ‘New York “B6″‘ Tenor, (RAC reface) – 0.105” (Archived)
SOLD - Terrific material and good classic design. Smaller chamber makes for a focused vintage sound. Bob Carpenter just opened this one up to a easy blowing .105" with a 23mm facing length.
Woodwind Co. ‘New York “J5″‘ Tenor, (WWS Reface) – 0.098” (Archived)

Woodwind Co. ‘Chester Hazlett’ Tenor, 1930s/40s (RAC reface)- 0.090″ (Archived)
SOLD - From Chadd's Collection - Another rare mouthpiece listed, it was named after the saxophonist in the Whiteman Orchestra of the 30s and 40s. Terrific material and good classic design...very similar to "The Woodwind Co." models... Large chamber makes for a big vintage sound. But also more suitable for Concert Bands and jazz alike. Bob Carpenter just opened this one up to a easy blowing 0.090" with a 21mm facing length and inscribed the his "RAC 90-21" on the table(sign of Bob's heartfelt workmanship again). The crystallized yellow band IS original! sorry, no ligature.
This has a great mellowness to the tone and blows Outstandingly easy! I REALLY wanted to keep this one when I got it back from Bob. It plays so much like my Tonalin 5 (I use on most sound files) that it must be an Alto player's delight at that 0.090" tip. = plays like butter!
Woodwind ‘Sparkle Aire B5*’ Tenor, (RAC reface)- 0.090″ (Archived)
SOLD - Terrific hard rubber material and good classic design. Large chamber makes for a big vintage sound. LATE DESIGN for Woodwind models: this body has similar shank design as Selmer Goldentone models, but the interior scream "Woodwind Co. sound" all the way! Original facing "B5*" marking, arrived original tip at 0.067"...So I asked Bob Carpenter to fix it. It is now a VERY FREE BLOWING 0.090"! Amazing ease of air. Sorry, on ligature currently.
