SOLD- hard rubber mouthpiece. Original tip measures 0.071". These varied from the other models in the chamber. It is a round medium-small chamber--not square like S80 or horseshoe like the other scroll models. Comes with a vintage, used brass Selmer ligature. I just touched up the gold script too. It is a more modern edition (no scroll shank. shank matches the S80 era).
Otto Link ‘Slant Signature “Tone Edge” #6’ Tenor, Rubber, Series II (Archived)
SOLD - Iconic! - Made of some of the best hard rubber. wide table, side number stamp = series 2 model (of 3). The horizontal table markings are not quite there (not my doing). There will be no hype here. This is one of the most sought after tenor mouthpieces. It plays fantastic, as it should. It arrived with minor imperfections in the seal. It was cautiously and expertly repaired here at WWS. The tip may have opened about 0.0005" from that point. I will call this a darn-near Original Tip at 0.100". No paired ligature or cap or box to sent with it, sorry.
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
