Correct.. The Soloist mouthpieces were stock mouthpieces for the Mark VI's,
and in the late 60 and 70's the Soloist 'style' mouthpieces, pretty much the
same but with no writing on the table, the modern Selmer logo (instead of
sript slant Selmer), and the facing designation where it is on modern
Selmers. I believe the Soloist 'style' mouthpieces have a slightly larger
chamber, therefore a little darker.

I like the Soloists, but can never afford one when i have the chance to buy
one. I own one of the Soloist 'style" mouthpieces for alto and tenor, but
play a Rousseau 'New Classic' model on alto. The Rousseau has the similat
'horseshoe' chamber but a much lower baffle (there's no square side opposite
of the 'horseshoe', it's flush with the bore wall) The Selmer just doesn't
have enough punch for me (plus my partner is borrowing it until he gets a
mouthpiece that works better with his 1934 Conn.

The one I have came with my 1958 Mark VI when I bought it used, and it was
most likely original equipment. Needless to say, it is NOT for sale!
