Re: brilhart ebolin MPCs

When I started playing professional dance jobs in 1943 the tonalin mouthpieces were very popular for clarinet and alto. I bought a new Boehm system clarinet and tonalin 3* clarinet mouthpiece in l943(after playing a wooden mouthpiece on my Albert system clarinet for about 7 years). I thought the Brilhart was GREAT, but that's not surprising in light of the comparison. Eventually that clarinet and mouthpiece were stolen . I played an ebolin alto mouthpiece in the Navy, and thought it was GREAT, but never owned one. As far as I recall the tenor Brilharts never were very popular, but the clarinet and alto tonalins were very popular at least into the 60's.
