Yes, nice find. I see a number of them that are going quite cheaply. Bay made some really nice mouthpieces and these are a great opportunity for people to get nice hand finished mouthpieces for a steal.

Beware, some may have gone off and have a very strong hard rubber stink. I got one a while back that is not even green but unplayable until I can find a way to seal the chamber walls. Plays very nicely for about 5 minutes before the 'pew' kicks in ! Of course if it's cheap and you can't try it then at least ask about it from the seller before purchase.

(just looked now, same seller I bought from)

MO-M Refer to the tip opening and facing length according to Bay's typical facings. MO- is medium Open. M- is medium. MC- medium close. O- Open.

-M refers to facing length. -M is medium length. -L is long. I don't think I've seen other facings lengths than those. The second set of letters and numbers is an individual serial number for that mouthpiece. I was told that from that number he could tell the owner a mouthpiece was sold to, and what it's facing was. I don't know if there's any significance to any of the numbers or letters.

I purchased several of these during the first Bay estate sale. They were in various states. Some completely unfinished, some playable but not yet faced, and others nearly finished. If anyone is interested in buying one, send me a message, as I’ve since cataloged and measured them, and they’re no longer serving a significant use for me

Hi. This needs to be moved onto the "For Sale" section now if you've got anything to sell or trade.

Thanks.
