It all started because I got my RPC mouthpiece today. Have not had a good chance to play it but gave it a few toots for a moment. Pretty nice first impression.
I went through my drawer and came across a white King mouthpiece that I got with an S20. It has the lig and cap. I'm pretty sure it all original because of the history of the horn it came with. Then a light bulb went off. I went to the Cannonball site:

That's the lig I have! I strapped on a reed with it and it plays GREAT. I STILL don't play like Cannonball
, and really don't burden myself with trying to be a clone, but when I work on or think of tone on the alto, he is on the top of my list. I have been playing FL ligs. They are very good and I can get a lot of the tones on them. But this King lig adds a nice weight to the tone. I can't wait to play it some more.
Does anyone have any info on them? Mine is in good shape and holds the reed well. It has somewhat flat screws.
BTW the RPC has a great smell to it. Good rubber.
