Re: Chedeville ID

Ruben, hit me up with an email to savagesax@aol.com. There is a very long history to your question and it will take up too much space on this clarinet board. Also, a lot of people will probably disagree with some of the actual "Facts," behind the history and misleading results. Here is an example. Some people have said and sent me mouthpieces from sources such as from the 1960's Bundy clarinet mouthpiece, saying that it is a Chedeville, wanting me to reface them. It may be from the new models, but surely it's not even close to the old Cheds.

You've asked a great question and I won't attempt to answer it on this BBoard, which I value a lot!

A lot of the old Chedeville's were never marked. However I can spot them right away and I'm always looking for them at Flea Markets, places like that. I got an unmarked one as a trade at a pawnshop. It was all faded, teeth marks on it, and gave the pawnshop a new $10 plastic mouthpiece. I found another one for $5 at this old place called Teds Music, behind Peabody Conservatory. There are plenty of them still around.
