SOLD - Vintage hard rubber from 1930s. COOL! a "U.S. Navy" engraved side wall! It has a large Chamber and Original Tip @ 0.054" -- Let's reface that! I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after

Steve Broadus ‘N.Y. “Perfected”‘ Alto, Rubber, (WWS refaced) – 0.074”
$269.00 - Real smooth & Rich, large chamber S3 model. Script isWWS REFACE 0.074" . I will find a ligature to pair with it. These are hard to find mpcs and we love them. (this one actually has a 2-3mm shorter body{center of mpc} than the 0.070" listed here at the time of this posting. interesting)
SOUND: clean and focused
Other: ‘Marveltone’ Soprano, (WWS reface)- 0.067″
SOLD - Made of hard rubber, it maintains a nice warmth. It arrived with a tiny 0.052 tip so I opened it up to 0.067". It responds very nice with a 2.5 reed and has strong presence and focus. I would call this a 'short shank' style; it also has a noticeable tight, smaller shank to fit on your neck cork(12.85mm vs. a modern C* 13.55mm). Medium round chamber. sorry, no ligature included. a rovner soprano will work great.
