Description: This is a Brilhart Ebolin Great Neck alto saxophone mouthpiece that is stamped as a 3 tip opening. It measures around .070" which is in line with Brilhart's tip opening measuring system. It plays awesome! Please check out the video attached to this listing to hear. These particular generation of Brilharts date to the mid 1940s, and this one is a 5 digit serial number (20454). The tip opening marking is on the facing. The "Great Neck N.Y." marking on the shank is extremely faint, and I'm only able to make out the first few letters "G R E A". This was not easy to capture when taking photos, but it is able to be seen close up when looking at the shank in person. It is in overall good shape. Mouthpiece rails and tip are in very good shape, the table is flat and does not have any deep scuffs or scratches. I tried my best to capture this in the pictures, but I am happy to provide more photos if you desire. There are no cracks in the mouthpiece. There are scratches and scuffs on the ligature area and other places you'd expect wear, but nothing that affects the integrity of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has an orange patch on the beak. The paint fill has mostly worn. I have not seen many Brilharts of this era in this good condition. This mouthpiece plays fantastic and you can hear it in action in the video attached to this listing. It was paired with a Vandoren Java 3 reed, Vandoren M/O ligature, and played on my Selmer Mark VI. The response is excellent in every register, and has a very distinct quality that I have not heard in any mouthpieces I've played. I'm able to get a very punchy sound, and easily able to play both very soft and loud. It is a blast to play. The mouthpiece will be cleaned and disinfected before you receive it. It will be shipped securely in a box. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions!
