I recently acquired a Brilhart Ebolin tenor mouthpiece and I'm hoping to get some help figuring out its age. The mouthpiece was in the case of a 1968 Mark VI that I found at a garage sale. The seller told me it had been sitting in a closet untouched for at least 15 years.
I've done some research on Theo Wanne's site, but this mouthpiece doesn't seem to fit clearly anywhere in the Brilhart history. It also doesn't match the design of new Ebolins as shown on WWBW, etc.
Some details that may or may not be helpful: (1) there is no serial number printed on the mouthpiece. (2) The only words printed on it are "Brilhart" (with mouthpiece and reed logo) on the barrel and "Ebolin" on the shank. (3) there is no ligature line.
Thanks in advance for any info!
