WWS40.00.9111.3-CB10
SOLD - This is a composite plastic mouthpiece--white with black bite plate cushion installed. This received metal banding repair and refacing from Bob Carpenter and now has a tip size of 0.082" with a 17mm facing. It has a medium chamber with shallow side walls like a Martin, ebolin, or tonalin. sound-wise: it has a mild tubby-ness to it, smooth like classic jazz...Until you go up high. then the 82 tip opens up to a bit brighter, cutting ability. It responses best with a +2.75 size reed. No ligature.

$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.

$125.00 - huge large chamber. I refaced it to a 0.076". (to be finished). The table had a mark like Woodwind Co. -- perhaps "L4, D4, or B4". It is hard to read now.
A great vintage tone from the large chamber. Very similar to Woodwind Co. designs. (compare at $200-250+).

$139.00 - I'm going to call these the [Committee III] model, because they came with that model of sax. Not expensive, really nice sound. Bob Carpenter has just refaced it to a 0.078."
