Resurrecting an old thread because it lists a number of companies O'Brien made crystal mouthpieces for -
I recently acquired a crystal mouthpiece that has "Woodwind" neatly etched in script on the top surface. (Very neatly, as if done by machine. Not like the rougher O'Brien tradename etching.) No other markings. It looks very much like the pictures I've seen of O'Brien mouthpieces. It has six flutes (3 on each side) and an unmarked brass endcap. Did The Woodwind Company ever market a crystal mouthpiece, and if so, who made it for them? If it was in fact the Woodwind Company, was it pre- or post-Leblanc acquisition of WWCo? If not The Woodwind Company, who else might have made it? I found one other post on this BB dated ten years ago by someone who had a similar mouthpiece, but no one seemed to respond with any information about it. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can offer.
