As a Steve Broadus mouthpiece fan I am curious to know when he made his mouthpieces and from where? I have a tenor 4* NY perfected model. Curious to kinow about how old it is, Thanks Bruce B.

Olhonker - sounds like you found your mpc. That's great. I finally got mine opened and it's a killer player. I really think these are some excellent mouthpieces. One of these days they'll probably come into vogue and end up getting stupidly expensive.

A friend of mine was kind enough to give me a Broadus S3 alti rubber mouthpiece in original condition. I dunno what S3 stands for. Anyway, it is a nice looking + playing mouthpiece. I know the hard rubber is of high quality. Although the tip opening is about 0.06", I can get all the low, and high notes without much hassles. The tone is sweet and melodic, and not particulary dark. Given enough air pressure, it can be quite powerful. A nice vintage piece that is undervalued - I believe.

BTW, I intend to open up the tip a bit :)

I've got a "perfected model" that appears to predate the more common ones with the cool swirl design on the shank. I have to remember to dig it out and send a pic to the Mouthpiece Museum.
I just acquired exactly this model, a S3. What mouthpiece museum are you referring to?
How old are these ? One heck of a mouthpiece to play !

Remember the post is 15 years ago. I had a Broadus about 50 years ago and it was pretty decent.
Yep older thread. I picked this one because several of the members are still active. Wasn’t going to make a new thread post for no reason.

Always looking for new information. Ya never know. Thank you, Yes, I had Theo Wanne bookmarked previously. Nothing on Steve Broadus.

Also very little here below.

Any other decent sites ?

I realize this is an old thread but I've got two of these mouthpieces.

An s3 alto that was refaced to .076 IIRC. I've got the ebay listing saved somewhere so I could always look up the particulars since I can never remember exactly what tip opening it is. I bought it on ebay from sigmund451 around the 09 to 10 time frame. Not sure if that's the same sigmund451 from here or not. But I love that piece. Has a great sound and works well with every alto I've tried it with. That and a Kali 8 are my main pieces depending on situation.

I got an s4 tenor piece as case candy once and while it is a nice piece I would like to get it opened up one day. Sort of like a tenor match to my alto one.
