SOLD - a really nice hard rubber mouthpiece with no brand logo which was common. It arrived at an original small tip 65. So we can talk about a reface. These have a mild warmth, nice focus, but big tone from the tip. sound is strong in the MID range, response is often great! It has a small baffle and medium side walls. I could pair it with a alto, leather, rovner-like wrap. Item: WWSL4.7W6.12151.6-008
Selmer ‘Soloist’ Tenor, Long Shank(plastic copy)

Woodwind Co. ‘Chester Hazlett’ Tenor, 1930s/40s (RAC reface)- 0.090″ (Archived)
SOLD - From Chadd's Collection - Another rare mouthpiece listed, it was named after the saxophonist in the Whiteman Orchestra of the 30s and 40s. Terrific material and good classic design...very similar to "The Woodwind Co." models... Large chamber makes for a big vintage sound. But also more suitable for Concert Bands and jazz alike. Bob Carpenter just opened this one up to a easy blowing 0.090" with a 21mm facing length and inscribed the his "RAC 90-21" on the table(sign of Bob's heartfelt workmanship again). The crystallized yellow band IS original! sorry, no ligature.
This has a great mellowness to the tone and blows Outstandingly easy! I REALLY wanted to keep this one when I got it back from Bob. It plays so much like my Tonalin 5 (I use on most sound files) that it must be an Alto player's delight at that 0.090" tip. = plays like butter!
Wagner/Keilwerth ‘Slimline 8*’ Tenor, (WWS reface) – 0.107″
$249.00 - A really nice hard rubber mouthpiece with the "JK" logo faint on the shank. It arrived at an original small tip 6 but with a chip. So I refaced it to a JK 8* or 0.107" at the tip. This is now a Wagner 11*, Otto Link 7**, or Meyer 10* by size. It is a fantastic player! It has a mild warmth, nice focus, but big tone from the tip. sound is strong in the MID range, response is great! It has a small baffle and medium side walls. Currently paired it with a alto, leather, rovner-like wrap.

Runyon ‘Amber 6’ Tenor, (WWS reface)- 0.092″ (Archived)
SOLD - Color is a bit red. number on the table. it arrived original 0.096", but the curve was not right and I knew this mouthpiece had more soul than it was showing (it's a Runyon!). So I refaced it with as much grace as possible; it is now a TIP @ 0.092" with elements of a Long Facing. I also cleaned up the window of the reed plate. The response is much easier now. Sorry no ligature currently--ASK ME. But ask me if I have a fitting one (this is a narrow tenor design).
