Excellent old Brilhart “hard rubber” model. Originally a very small tip as most were, I’ve opened this to ,098 with a bit of baffle. It blows fat, flexible and kind of bouncy with some shimmer on top, very much fun. Although these are often compared to slant Links, they have their own vibe. On the power/tone color scale I would say this is probably equal to a very good early Florida slant Link, maybe a touch brighter.
Selmer Balanced Action 24xxx ORIGINAL rarity
This is a beautiful 24k Balanced Action alto in original lacquer and US engraving, a very rare find. This horn has an absolutely beautiful sound but will requires some attention to function at 100%. Pads will need help and some solder joints at the bell brace that are traditional weak-points for old Balanced Actions may warrant some review as well, although they are currently stable. The sound is unrivaled and the condition is very good and difficult to find.
Original case and mouthpiece included!

Berg Larsen Slant Sig 1940’s 90 facing
Wonderful old hard rubber Berg, crisp fast and extremely clear powerful sound. These are of course more and more rare, wonderful players! Bite area probably used to have a disintegrated rubber patch that was cleaned off.
Berg Larsen Vintage long sloped Beak 100/2 offset SMS Type Font-denim Marinated
This is a very old transitional Berg, 1950’s or earlier; type font facing stamp, denim table, offset SMS facing stamp. I have optimized this facing and tip it’s a player and not a huge tip size at .096. Wonderful tone!

Biteplate is a bit gnarled, functional but could use some attention.
