Brilhart ‘Personaline S6’ Tenor, Rubber (RAC reface)- 0.105″(Archived)

SOLD - SUPER GEM! black hard rubber, Bob Carpenter did the minor perfection of the reface to a 0.105. As usual, Bob's work looks excellent! The sound is a warm-round, with semi-clean clarity -- truly a blend of sounds and why these are well loved.

Included is a Rovner ligature($20) and plastic cap.

I am doing some history research on Brilhart and will post photos to help with dating-proofs that are no where else online! WOW! This piece is helping unlock and document history!
Hint: This is a very very early Brilhart due to special markings

Brilhart ‘Tonalin 5 – Custom 8’ Tenor, 1946-51 Ser# 87942 (RAC reface) – 0.098″ (Archived)

SOLD - what a fun mouthpiece. Bob Carpenter refaced the tip to a 0.098". It has a long facing. I also had Bob patch a tooth groove. I have since installed a black foam tooth cushion. This has a much larger presence to the tone and a big sound. There are no cracks to mention. These have a medium chamber with shallow side walls. AND it is a 5-digit serial #87942 (higher demand, higher price). Everyone loves a #5 or higher number Tonalin. This one will be no exception. sorry, no ligature, just ask.

Brilhart ‘Tonalin 5’ Tenor, early 50s Ser# 37945 (Archived)

SOLD - with script in beautiful condition. FIVE DIGIT SERIAL NUMBER! This one plays really nice with decent focus for a Tonalin. I'm biased, but I love these. A good smooth Stan Getz type sound. Original Tip size at 0.085", no tooth grooves. no ligature. There are two crack evidences, all too common on these. I would recommend banding it but I will offer two prices.

Brilhart ‘Level-Air 5’ Tenor, 1960s Ser# 4371 – 0.093″ (Archived)

SOLD- This mpc is a nice free blowing mpc with a tip measuring 0.092" (not normal for a " 5 " ). Ser # 4371 There is a small tooth imprint that I covered with a clear bite tab--typical on these. It blows a big sound with heavy mid tones for a metal, cliff-style baffle. early 4-digit vintage series with side-to-side machining on the table (meaning: the early era of likely the 1960s).
