Penzel Muller / Mueller Co. New York Hard India Rubber Clarinet Mouthpiece

Description

Penzel Muller / Mueller Co. New York Hard India Rubber Clarinet Mouthpiece.
This is one of the greats of clarinet mouthpieces. If you love the sound of Daniel Bonade, Harold Wright, Stanley Drucker, Anthony Gigliotti, Michael Rusinek, Ralph McLane, and many other brilliant clarinetists of the past, this is the piece for you. Do a search for \"Penzel Mueller Chedeville\" or \"Penzel Mueller India Hard Rubber\" and look for the clarinet bboard links.The highlight of the thread:\"An Henri Chedeville by any other name...\" By Larry Bocaner, former bass clarinetist of the National Symphony OrchestraAccording to both Brad Behn and Ramon Wodkowski, some of the leading names in clarinet refacing, these are some of the best blanks of all time.This particular one has an all original facing and is practically mint. Still shiny black! Nice interior. The tip rail has a few tiny inconsistencies but it plays beautifully as is. Prime candidate for refacing, too.
This piece has "woodwind" stamped at the bottom of the table. I believe that is because Woodwind Company bought up some of these mouthpieces and put their branding on it. It is still a great early Penzel Muller HIR mouthpiece just with some extra history!
