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.

I'd like to know more about these, too. They really are nice players.

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.
