Selmer ‘Airflow’ Soprano, late 1920s Large Chamber Rubber – 0.044″ (Archived)
SOLD - I think these were originally paired with the Model 22 and 26 selmers. It has a faded marking that could be either "B" or "D" or "L" on the side of the table (going off the 0.043, I would say "B" is correct).
Selmer ‘S80 – D’ Soprano, modern – 0.052″
99.00 - Hard rubber, focused sound, easy response. It's a bit aged (green) but in good condition. Legit for concert band but able to cross genres too--square chamber mpcs. It arrived with factory 0.050 (incorrect for "D")...Tip will measure ~0.052" after I clean up the seal. It will play great. Sorry no lig or cap...yet.

Morgan ‘1-C hard rubber’ Soprano, (WWS Reface) – 0.052″ (Archived)
Conn ‘Stubby/shorty’ Soprano – 0.044″ (Archived)
often seen with early era Conn Wonders, it has the original tip at 0.044", a very large round chamber and is made of hard rubber. plays really nice with a reserved tone(small tip) with nasally attributes. Fun for the quiet player. Item: WWS0.00.8141.1-0
Conn ‘Connstellation #3’ Soprano – 0.055″ (Archived)
here's a hard to find mpc from the late 60s, These were made with facings 1(closed) -- 6(open) but only three sizes for Soprano--2, 3, 4. This with the original tip at 0.055", tip and rails in great shape. there is one minor mark in the table(minor), the table shows the vertical striations. It has a large round chamber, made of a 'new' hard rubber material, plays nice with a centered, mellow tone. The script is in very good condition too. *shank = tight, like old bueschers. so it requires a thin neck cork. Item: WWS0.00.8151.1-0
Buescher ‘Pickle – Emblem’ Soprano, 1920s (RAC Reface) – 0.059″ (Archived)
Hard rubber mpc. Buescher from the 1920s. Bob Carpenter did work on this one in conjunction with myself, and now it's a Tip size @ 0.059 with 18mm facing length. This one did have a sneaky crack up the beak. Bob will glued that back together and I'll discount the mouthpiece. Comes with original silver ligature and cap. SOUND: sweet and warm. Not for cutting and being loud. Item: WWS0.00.1101.4-0-B50C10
