Other: ‘Amerite Tru-Art’ Alto, like Woodwind Co., (WWS refaced) – 0.076″ (Archived)
SOLD - huge large chamber. I refaced it to a 0.076". (to be finished). The table had a mark like Woodwind Co. -- perhaps "L4, D4, or B4". It is hard to read now.
A great vintage tone from the large chamber. Very similar to Woodwind Co. designs. (compare at $200-250+).

SOLD - Ser. #7186, original tip @ 0.057", i did repair the tip rail just slightly. I think it stayed right at 0.057"...I wanted it to stay the smallest for a classical player. Medium round chamber. Brass ligature and cap.
Martin ‘Dick Stabile’ Alto, 1940s/50s (RAC refaced 0.083″) associated with Steve Broadus (Archived)
SOLD - A very POWERFUL, warm sounding hard rubber mouthpiece a for darker, large chamber sound(not extra large). It has the ability to push some sound out! (more treble than I though it would have.)
Bob Carpenter customized the tip to a .083" (usually a $85.00 job) and it sounds and plays beautifully!

MC Gregory ‘”Master” 4A 16M’ Alto, 1950s early era, EXCELLENT – 0.064″(Archived)
$SOLD 550.00 - Another great mouthpiece. It reminds me a lot of the Model A design--shallow beak. the Script is in excellent condition too! But these have a medium, round chamber--no side walls.
Original tip measures 0.064". I recommend our WWS professional work on the tip seal to help this mouthpiece respond best.
