Rico ‘Graftonite B5’ Tenor, Black – 0.096″ (Archived)
SOLD - These can be great starter mouthpieces. Rico's description on this new mouthpiece: "RICO ROYAL GRAFTONITE TONE CHAMBERS Tone Chamber Style (A, B, or C): The tone chamber of a mouthpiece is the inside area of the mouthpiece. The size and shape of the tone chamber will change the tone quality of the instrument. The bigger the facing number, the farther back the reed goes before actually touching the mouthpiece. Changing the facing of the mouthpiece will generally change the volume of the instrument. With a shorter facing (3), less of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be quieter, with a longer facing (7), more of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be louder."

Wagner ‘Slimline 3’ Tenor, 1960/70s Slimline, Hard Rubber – 0.065″ (Archived)
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)
$45.00 - A plastic copy or prototype to the Selmer scroll mouthpieces. You can see in the photos the similarity! The facing will need worked on and opened up to an enjoyable size (060-078 likely). Item:WWSL4.7W6.12151.6-009
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.
Wagner/Keilwerth ‘[Blank] #6’ Tenor, Silver-Plated, (RAC reface)- 0.100″
$199.00 - Really strong, German made pieces originally measured 0.075", opened it up to 0.100". Like a cross between a Berg and a Dukoff, It has side walls in the chamber. Great condition. Sorry no ligature currently.
Selmer ‘S-80 C*’ Tenor, [varying stock] – 0.069-076″
$100-200.00 - Multi-Listing: These come in so often, their info will land here. Hard Rubber mouthpiece from the 1980s/90s/00s. These are well known & loved by teachers. They have a very clean, focus to the tone. square chamber. They are a worthy 1st Step-up mouthpiece. I always try to keep a few on hand for students: $80-$135. Or you can buy them New for $179.00+. Cosmetics may vary, ligatures may vary.
Original Tips are normally at 0.072". Good for legit or orchestra work.
(Feel free to ask if I have one in stock. I like to keep some of these around and they come and go very often.)
