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.

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.

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!

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.

Other: ‘York’ Alto, 1920s/30s Rubber – 0.051″

$89.00 - Vintage hard rubber from 1920s/30s. It has a VERY LARGE Chamber, no baffle (yet) and Original Tip @ 0.051" -- Let's reface that! It will play easy. I would say it sounds typical of a stuffy, vintage tone but after Mine or Bob's work, it can cut through in the high register--still not as loud of a mpc as others. no ligature currently, ask me.
