Hello,
Can anyone identify this alto mouthpiece?
It doesn't have any signs, numbers, nothing.
It came with a vintage Buescher I've recently got.
Is it worth to keep it or someone wants it?

It's a no-name injection-molded plastic mouthpiece. Try it and keep it if you like it, but I don't think it's worth anything if you're looking to sell it.

I agree with the man above - try it. It looks like many many other mouthpieces including a Runyon 22. I'd keep it because it'll play well enough even with those wide side rails. It ain't worth anything in a moneytary sense and it's always nice to have such a thing on hand should you ever need it.

thanks for replies! I'll see how it sounds. I haven't seen such a shape of the shank before.

that is a horseshoe chamber

Horseshoe Chamber question

Hey folks I have always been a massive fan of the old selmer soloist pieces, and they all have horseshoe chambers i believe I was just curious, are there any other companies that make or have made mouthpieces with horseshoe chambers other than selmer?

If you mean the stepped shank, I thinks pieces similar to this came with Conn student saxes around the 1960s, stamped "Conn Precision". They may have been a Runyon design if I remember rightly. Basic beginner fare, nothing to write home about.

the brand Gigliotti had a very similar shaped alto sax mouthpiece in various colors. Found with various names on them.
I think they were made by Runyon.

You might get 10 or 15 bucks for it on ebay. You can always keep it to experiment on. I learned to face mouthpieces on a box of those I bought for 6 bucks each a zillion years back.

id say thats a runyon 22. should be a decent mpc

 

[TyYez]

Looks generic, I've come across a few of these in older saxophones. If it's nothing of value and I don't like it I usually just give it away.

 

[super20dan]

these are good mpcs. try before you toss it

I have heard lots of great things about the Runyon 22 including Charlie Parker playing (a white) one but I do not recall any near the same sentiment expressed about Gigliotti.

the giglilloti is a runyon 22. runyon made them for them and many others
