 Re: Help identifying my mouthpiece - Qualite Superieure #8

I had a chance to look at the Martin Freres QS mouthpiece Bill is talking about.

1. The bore was enlarged using unsuitable reamer.
2. Mouthpiece had an alto sax facing (with about 1.50 mm tip) applied to it.
3. Facing was a mess. It looked like amateur's first job.

If it was just unfinished blank from Chedeville/Lelandais then any mouthpiece maker could easily turn it into a great mouthpiece. But in this case the mouthpiece (especially bore) was altered so much that it was not worthy of effort.
