Other: ‘Kay O’Brien, Double Chamber- Detroit’ Tenor, (RAC reface)- 0.087″ (Archived)

SOLD - Vintage hard rubber mouthpiece with good material; "B6" on the table (like a Woodwind Co.), "A2" on the side, It has small chamber into the throat of the mouthpiece, with a small step-ledge as it opens into the medium chamber. 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. Baffle looks like Guardala 15%, or Berg 15% -- the slight bullet drop.

***A REALLY NICE MOUTHPIECE! for $159.00
***Michael Brockman (University of Washington Professor of Saxophone) tested --Stamp of approval!

Gregory ‘Los Angeles – 5A 20’ Tenor, 1940s/50s, Ser#9988, Fiber Resin (Archived)

$SOLD - SOUND: Focused warmth and slight edge--from flat sidewalls into round chamber(throat). "Rico Products LTD Distributors" + "Model A". These have a shallow beak that allows the mouthpiece to vibrate freely like Gregorys are known for. TIP arrived measuring very much original 0.078". However, when I look at it, I feel like there was very very minor work done to the tip to help it seal (perhaps). I'll inspect this and make sure it plays awesome. After refacing work here at WWS, the tip measures 0.084".

Goldbeck & Co. ‘”Superb” #3’ Tenor, 1920s (WWS reface)- 0.092″ (Archived)

SOLD - Nickel plated brass (nickel-silver, some say). These are great mouthpieces! Just refaced here at WWS to 0.092". It is a HUGE large chamber with a huge tone. I left a slight roll-over baffle to add some clarity. it is Classic Jazz all the way. The last one made me think I was Coleman Hawkins on steroids! Seriously! This one has a 10% smaller tip size. I have a working ligature Included.
