VINTAGE New York Meyer 7M Alto Sax Mouthpiece (Refaced)

Vintage New York Meyer 7M Alto Sax Mouthpiece
7M Medium Chamber – Re-Faced to an 8M

The original Vintage New York Meyer Alto Sax mouthpiece is the most sought after mouthpiece in history. They have been used by the finest saxophonists since their creation. Finding these vintage mouthpieces in good condition is difficult. While this mouthpiece is overall in decent shape, it has been refaced in its life. However, even though it is no longer the original New York Meyer 7M that it once was, it’s still a killer piece…

Facing

Using a digital gauge, this mouthpiece measures as if it was a New York Meyer 8M: .086″. So the mouthpiece has been opened up and when scrutinizing the tip rail, we can see small indications that it has been refaced. While it is a bummer that it is no longer original, this piece is still a killer playing piece!! The rest of the mouthpiece is like you would expect for its age. There are teeth marks in the beak of the mouthpiece and there are a few small nicks in the mouthpiece window. However, as the mouthpiece plays well as it is, we are not going to do anything about those nicks. The mouthpiece also has NOT developed the “hard rubber smell” that can happen from improper cleaning/care of a mouthpiece.
