Martin ‘[Committee III]’ Tenor, (WWS reface)- 0.076″

SALE $49.00 - I'm going to call these the [Committee III] model, because they came with that model of sax. Here is an 50s/60s Martin plastic mouthpiece (originally paired with "The Martin ____" horns) . They are good players with a mild-vintage tone--a bit more nasal tone compared to #1 above due to the enhanced tip by me is a 0.076". Plastic mouthpiece with a Medium-Small chamber with flat sidewalls (slightly larger than Brilhart Ebolins). slight tooth marks. Comes with brass ligature.

Martin ‘[Committee III]’ Tenor – 0.075″

$69.00 - I'm going to call these the [Committee III] model, because they came with that model of sax. Here is an early 50s/60s Martin plastic mouthpiece (originally paired with "The Martin ____" horns) . They are good players with a mild-vintage tone--a bit more nasal tone compared to #1 above due to the original tip is a 0.075". Plastic mouthpiece with a Medium-Small chamber with flat sidewalls (slightly larger than Brilhart Ebolins). mild tooth imprints. Comes with nickel ligature.

Couf ‘Artist 5*S’ Tenor, 1960s/70s Rubber

$125.00 - Here's another great, hard rubber mouthpiece. As Bob says: "these are the good rubber...they even taste like it". Ha, dare I say, he's right. you can taste the quality rubber. (I hope my cleaners can also act as as sealer to the rubber--to help the playing experience away from the taste of vintage rubber). It arrived with original tip at 0.084" but it will get a WWS Reface here. The air goes into straight side-walls, into a Medium round chamber (slightly smaller than my other Couf Artist), currently with no baffle (small rollover likely in reface). This has a semi-slimline look. I have had several of these that were really fun! This one has a slightly smaller medium chamber than Sarge's collection one (The "Artist"). This is the next generation with the [COUF] labeling--mostly worn off now.

Conn ‘Steelay “Standard” No. 3’ Tenor, 1930/50s rubber – 0.059″

$139.00 - Paired with Conns from 1935-56, these had several options. The "No.5" (of the 6 sizes) was, according to Conn Loyalist: "A short facing with Medium-wide tip opening. The most popular all-purpose mouthpiece. Fine for solo work. Gives Larger Volume than Lay No.2." I find this entertaining because the original tip measures 0.059". The mouthpiece is in excellent condition. It has a huge round chamber and deep rounded side walls. Plays surprisingly easy, tone is bold but tubby, slight bit nasally, but with bolder presence. sorry, no ligature(ASK).

Brilhart ‘Personaline S5’ Tenor, 1960s White, Ser# – 0.082″

$275.00 - These are always great. Wood-grain tooth pad in Excellent condition!! Original tip to a 0.082"! There are no cracks to mention. serial number is 6-digit 100K. It plays very easy and has a centered, Mid-Tone core to the tone. These have a medium chamber with shallow side walls. Originally, it came with a super cool, "Brilhart" plastic cap and I found a Brilhart 3-band ligature to pair up with it!, however, a customer requested to purchase those separately. I have reduced the price to reflect the Mouthpiece solo. I can find a ligature for you though. Just ask.

Description: " a [long "E"1], horizontal table, hard rubber, short boat, long shank"
