Mouthpieces
If you're like the Vintage Clarinet Doctor, you enjoy trying different mouthpieces to alter the tone, intonation, and play-ability of your clarinet or saxophone. Maybe you want a Jazz sound, a Classical sound, or a Klezmer sound: its going to be a stretch to get all those from one 'piece!
Maybe you are looking for something more open to get more volume and less back-bore pressure, or just a good quality inexpensive hard rubber 'piece to save a student from spending big $$ for a new commercial 'piece!
Maybe you are a refacer, and want a cheap old hard rubber mouthpiece to tinker with! All of these have come in with old clarinets/saxes or been bought in a fit of "mouthpiece curiosity". All are clean, re-corked (as needed) and guaranteed playable. Whatever your needs, please look below...
I'm happy to recork any of my mouthpieces to your specifications for a modest charge!

Vintage Penzel Mueller Artist #3 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece
$59
This rare hand faced, hard rubber Penzel Mueller "Artist" mouthpiece came in with a c.1940 PM Artist model clarinet that I plan to list as soon as its finished! The #3 facing has a tip opening of about .048", and its in decent playable condition for its age, good for a Jazz or Classical player using a medium reed. Just recorked and offered for a little less than usual due to the cosmetic ligature marks on the edges of the table.

This 1950's vintage Geo. M. Bundy Bb clarinet mouthpiece was made from a French hard rubber blank and has a #3 facing marked. With a tip opening of about .046", It would be good for a player preferring a harder reed. Great original condition and a good player! Just recorked.
Vintage VanDoren B45 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece
$45
This vintage hard rubber Vandoren B45 shows use, but is still a good player for about half the price of new! The .047" tip opening with medium facing makes it a good all around mouthpiece for someone using a medium or med. hard reed.
Rico Royal A5 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece
$25
This graftonite Bb clarinet mouthpiece is marked "Rico Royal A5". With a tip opening of about .050" and a large chamber it would be a Jazz or commercial good mpc for someone who needs to play outside a lot and is seeking volume! Good original condition with faint tooth marks on beak.
Saxophone Mouthpieces
Vintage Florida Dukoff Super Power Chamber
Ebolite Vibra-Com Tenor Sax Mouthpiece

If you want that edgy tenor sound, but don't have a vintage metal Dukoff budget, this will help! Comes with Rovner ligature.
Kanee L.A. Sax #7 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
$89
These were made by Kanee for L.A. Sax and are a far better player than one would expect, for the price! Hand-faced hard rubber, roll over baffle, horseshoe throat to a large chamber.
