SOLD - (touched up after photos) I refaced tip at 0.079" to copy my "Selmer NY" mouthpiece's curve ($299 listed below)! These are similar to 40's otto link in tone and much cheaper! Slant Bundy signature, no size walls. round, open chamber! These early ones with the open chamber are more sought after. Ask me about a ligature.

$675.00 - (please inquire) David Sanborn lovers need to contact me! Comes with original Box, Ligature and cap! It arrived needing minor work on the table and tip seal; I did that and play-tested it. Now a near-original tip @ 0.077". It is a free-blowing mouthpiece with booming altissimo. Inspected and perfected!

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

$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
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.
