<<<As I remember, the Brillhart mouthpiece was made out of white
material and the contrast with the black clarinet was striking.>>>

It's ironic that we are discussing this today. Just this morning in my
jazz history class, I was discussing an album made in 1956 by Stan Getz,
Dizzy Gillespie, and other jazz stars of that period. In the photo on
the album cover, Stan Getz is playing a white Brillhart mouthpiece.

But, I agree with Dan Leeson - I played on several Brillhart saxophone
mouthpieces, but never found one of them that really worked well for me.
