I am trying to figure out which Kessler Custom alto mouthpiece I bought on eBay. It's marked "Kessler Custom, Las Vegas, Nevada" on the body and the only other marking says "NY" to the right rear of the table, player's orientation. The tip opening is .083", it's just slightly shorter (1/8") than a current prod Meyer, and it has a round chamber and scooped sidewalls. All of these suggest the "NYPro" large chamber mouthpiece, but the chamber looks more like what I would call a medium chamber, with no step at the throat.
Incidentally, it plays very well. Not as quick and free as your typical Meyer, but a thick, deep sound that stays that way in the upper register. I really like it.
