Alright, time to turn the tables on all of you... I'm cleaning off my mouthpiece shelf. All prices (except where noted) include USPS flat rate shipping to the US. We can work special pricing if you buy more than one, i.e. I can cram your goodies into a single box. Hit me with offers.
Condition is noted specifically, but most pieces I own are tarnished outside due to the local climate, with the rim and cup being shiny. I'm happy to polish the tarnish off (with a non-abrasive polish), but I know some people like the patina. If you're curious, ask for photos.
<U>Small Shank</U>
Bach 12C - $45 Modern 12C, plating perfect. Identical to any you would find in a music store, except for the price. Shank perfect.
Mt. Vernon Bach 12 - $75 Has initials SEG scratched onto outside of cup. Plating in otherwise excellent shape. No letter.
Mt. Vernon Bach 7 - $125 Bought off ebay, not for me. Previous owner replated in gold. Very nice gold plating. Excellent condition, shorter small shank. No letter. <U>SOLD</U>
Mt. Vernon Bach 12C - $100 I don't need it. Plating in great condition, my suspicion is that it was replated. Pretty much looks new. Shorter small shank.
New York Bach 22SC - $100 Might be a NY- I can check. UPDATE it is. Gold plate in great shape. VERY wide cushion rim with a tiny inside diameter. Super heavy. Might be a great crossover piece for trumpet players, or for those of you playing "occasional" Banda gigs.
<U>Large Shank Tenor</U>
Brassark Custom Piece - $175 Jay Friedman underpart, with wider diameter, threaded for two included rims- a Brassark Mr. Bass rim, and a Bach 1 1/2G rim. The Bach rim feels like an older, flatter 1.5G rim. These rims screw onto my Brassark Orchestral Bass (mercury blank) no problem, although there is an overhang where they meet the cup. YMMV.
Griego Alessi 1A - $125 Bought off the forum recently, in perfect shape- not for me though!
Griego Alessi 1B - $125 Bought off the forum recently, in perfect shape- not for me though!
Giddings GW 103 Stainless - $125 Bought, tested for a minute, shelved. If you want a stainless steel 3G, this is your mouthpiece. I believe this is their larger 3 sized piece, with the TZ 103 being slightly hot-rodded (not this piece).
Christian Lindberg 4CL, "Gold" - $50 No dents/divots. Plating is tarnished. It's a 4CL, will make nice thumbprint cookies. This one is "gold." Conn-Selmer has possibly the thinnest possible gold plating, so the rim is worn through to the silver (after no more than two months of playing).
Laskey 54M - $75 Great shape. My understanding is that this is a copy of a Clarke mouthpiece, the same progenitor of the 6.5AL. Super sweet player.

How deep is the Bach small shank"? ... Never seen one.. Comparable to a Bach 5G large bore?

In my excitement of seeing a 54M for sale, I didn't notice that it was in the large shank category. I'm currently looking for a small shank. Sorry for wasting your time.
