I think EZ is the resident Couf mouthpiece connoisseur. Look for him in the mouthpiece refacing area.
That explains why Chitownjazz told me to go for the Artist.EZ said:Of all the ones I've owned or worked on...

"Artist" models are made of hard rubber .
I know-I was bidding against you on eBay for one Couf-got expensive and the opening was a bit large.EZ said:I don't collect many mouthpieces for collecting sake, but I have a thing for Coufs.
Probably about .078". I have them marked in various tip openings but they all seem to measure the same. These are among my favorite alto mouthpieces. They are very similar to the King MO mouthpieces. I don't know about the age though.I have a Couf Artist 4*S alto piece that I like. I got it from my teacher (used) back in 1985-ish. It has two lines around the base, and I use a clarinet lig on it.
Any idea what the tip opening is on this piece, and how old it is?

Sorry for kicking an old thread ... but does anyone know more about those metal Couf mouthpieces?There are also Couf metal mouthpeices, by the way. They appear to me to be similar to Wagner metal mouthpieces. Silver plated brass.
