Although a number of top British jazz and big band players used
Brilharts, I found the m/p's very inconsistent, and could never find
one I liked.
Probably in the 50's Brilhart manufactured m/p's in England. As is
the way of the world, the English version was fetching high prices in
USA and the USA model was very highly sought after in Britain, go
figure!

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.
