    Description

    Woodwind Co. of N. Y. alto saxophone mouthpiece, B5* in great used condition. Steel ebonite (hard rubber). This beauty was well used when I first got it from my teacher around 1968 or 1969, so it probably dates back to the '50s, maybe even earlier. That's a guess, of course. There are some tiny numbers on the side, visible in two of the pictures, that might help date it. I'm not able to. It has a big, full sound, yet has the ease of control you need, too. It's very responsive and free-blowing.
    I'm only selling it because I've found I do better with a smaller opening, and found a piece that really works better for me.
    Tiny little scratches and nicks, as is expected. Almost no tooth marks. See picture #4. You see discoloration from playing and age. Any light tooth marks are hard to see.
