This listing is for a vintage Brilhart Tonalin mouthpiece for alto saxophone. It is a "GREAT NECK, NY" era Brilhart, as indicated on the bottom of the shank. The facing number is stamped on the shank rather than on the top, indicating it is an earlier Great Neck era piece. These are the most desi...rable of Brilharts, and they definitely outplay later ones! This one has the serial number 39301 on the side inlarge font. The facing number is 4*, and the tip opening measures .072". This piece is in very good used condition. The tip, table, and rails are nice and smooth. It has never been refaced or otherwise altered. The horizontal mill markings are still visible. There is some extremely light tooth wear on the bite plate, but certainly nothing that requires correction. Early Brilharts, such as this, are great players, and this one is no exception! It's no screamer, but it speaks easily with a full bodied tone that is perfect for classic jazz styles!
