$59.00 - Original tip was @ 0.055” (now a WWS Reface 0.071") , hard rubber, large chamber. Similar to a Conn eagle.
$79.00 - Vintage 1920/30s, Large Chamber, Tip .082" Refaced by Bob C.
$135.00 - Large chamber. I was refacing it to about 0.078". (to be finished, photos are 'during' reface.) I was coping the curve of my favorite Woodwind Co alto mpc. The metal table is extremely durable and difficult to reface. On the bright side, it will hold it's curve once it's setup.
