SOLD - This is an Ebolin with a nice, early 5-digit ser#83,039. Original facing tip at 0.084". This one plays very strong with the characteristic Brilhart sound--medium chamber with flat side walls. Looking for a Tonalin sound, without the Tonalin price?! ...This is a great option! a bit more presence in the treble tones but darn close to my Tonalin 5 (0.085") from my sound files.

It will probably sell quickly, as I have seen them sell at ebay for 599.00.
