I've just got my hands on another old and odd mouthpiece. I suspect it's a single reed mouthpiece for contrabass sarrusophone, but I'm not surel. Maybe someone here knows exaclty what I've got?
It's marked:
C. MAHILLON
RD
93462
It's complete with cap and lig. The cap is also marked "C. MAHILLON".
The mouthpiece seems to be made of wood. It's got a small hole on the back so it could be attached to a bocal.
It's quite a bit larger than my Chedeville single reed bassoon mouthpiece. The hole for the bocal is also a bit larger but not much.
A Bb clarinet reed fits good, an alto sax reed is too wide.
