$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"
Berg Larsen ‘100-3-M(offset)’ Tenor, 1950s/60s Duckbill Rubber (Archived)
$SOLD - a superb mouthpiece. It reminds me of my frequent flyer. good material, and a near original tip, had slight enhancements done here at WWS, is at 0.095" , table markings were worked off prior to WWS (but trust the Offset M for the era). Bullet chamber is there, does show very mild evidence of work done(nothing to fear). We also inspected the minor wear to the rail to ensure the seal is still free-and-clear. I've marked the price down $50 for these. I found a vintage Berg ligature to pair with it too!
SOUND: It's big, robust, yet clear, the #3 baffle helps leave some warmth in this robust core tone.
Woodwind Co. ‘New York “B5″‘ Alto, (RAC reface)- 0.077”
$189.00 - Terrific material and good classic design. Larger chamber makes for a big vintage sound. reminds me of a slant signature sound. Bob Carpenter just opened this one up (usually a 85.00 job) to a easy blowing .077", just found a ligature to go with it too.
Selmer ‘Elkhart- New York 3’ Alto, (RAC reface)- 0.083″
$219.00 - Plays awesome! - vintage Selmer, marked "3"-RARE TOP MARKING, with links to Zimberoff stencil line of mouthpieces (aka = awesome!)...refaced by Bob Carpenter (RAC) to 0.080", also new gold script to pop. It has a medium-large, round chamber with rounded side walls. A great blowing piece! excellent center core tone with projection. My last one was an AWESOME player! reminded me of a Meyer/Link tone, but better (good price!). no lig sorry. A scratch groove on the body.

Selmer ‘S-80 – C*’ Alto, Rubber, (RAC reface)- 0.078″
$149.00 - Used but nice Hard Rubber mouthpiece from the 80's, excellent quality hard rubber. Good for legit, concert band, or orchestra work. Bob Carpenter opened this one up to about 0.078" with a 21 facing curve. Larger tip has much more volume and projection; no longer just a C*.
Other: ‘A. Lelandais Chantecler IV Custom’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.081″
$179.00 - Hard Rubber, in non-original facing, I had to drastically help this mouthpiece be able to play by leveling the table and refacing it myself. I knew it would be worth saving. I refaced to 0.081”,(photos are Before reface) Large round chamber-with custom bullet baffle! plays great! bold and focused. I want to help find a ligature for this one. It's a unique size. So I had to modify a soprano wrap with some cork inserts. (included)
Consider this: a vintage hard rubber mouthpiece, refaced with 3x the time needed, knowledge & inspection, and a sized ligature, ONE-OF-A-KIND MOUTHPIECE...
***AMAZINGLY FREE BLOWING, RAW POWER (bright tones) and there's only one out there!
WWS0.15.00.9281.2-2-C90
Ponzol ‘”Vintage”Rubber – C*’ Alto, (WWS reface) – 0.067″
$89.00 - Nice hard rubber design. Designed to blend the best of the Vintage & Modern tones, folks say this has [an old Otto Link or Meyer tone, without that hefty price tag.] ...although I had to finesse the factory table and facing, this one will play great. I just enhanced it to ~ 0.067". It plays clean with brighter abilities to push!. It has a medium(like a Meyer)-round chamber with rounded side walls. I expect a great blowing piece, excellent center core tone, with projection. no lig sorry.
PLAY TEST: slightly brighter abilities to cut through than expected. Still Meyer-esque, but with a bit more punch.
