Description: For sale is a vintage Lelandais Qualité Superieure Bb clarinet mouthpiece, labeled as "Martin Freres, Paris". Qualité superieure blanks made by Chedeville-Lelandais are among the most sought-after vintage blanks, thanks to the unique resonance characteristics of the excellent rod rubber. The sound projects effortlessly, and has a sweet, singing tone quality. This mouthpiece is about 70 years old! I refaced this mouthpiece to a medium facing with a 1.08 mm tip opening with medium facing length 35 (Brand scale). I recommend using #3 reeds, but your preference may vary. This mouthpiece came to me as a broken one, and I repaired the tip using another hard rubber mouthpiece (yep, totally worth it!). The repair blends in seamlessly and it holds strongly. The epoxy I used to attach the replacement part is actually harder than the mouthpiece itself. I give the buyer a one year guarantee for the repair, but it should hold for many decades.This is your chance to get a top quality, hand-finished vintage mouthpiece and make a sound that helps you standing out from the crowd! I sell it for a comparatively low price, due to the repair. But these can sell for more than 300$ quite often. Check out the video about the repairing process!https://youtu.be/uqCafL488bc?feature=shared I ship worldwide with priority mail and always provide a tracking number.

Feel free to send me your best offer 😉 Recent feedback about my mouthpiece work: "Mark's refacing ability is unique. I had the privilege of listening to some chamber music performed by him and I must say that he is an exceptional clarinetist, both for his technical ability and for his musical interpretation. For those who love the sound of the formidable and iconic great clarinetists of the past, such as Harold Wright, Antony Gigliotti, Robert Marcellus, Thea King… I highly recommend the vintage mouthpieces redone by Mark!" "This is a wonderful mouthpiece, great addition to my Behn-Zinner (same quality, different sound). The sound is rich as described. I'm very satisfied. Shipping time was very short. Thanks a lot!" "I ordered a vintage crystal clarinet mouthpiece that the seller re-faced by hand. In a symphony orchestra, I've been playing 66 years. Finally, I have a crystal mouthpiece that I truly love. It plays beautifully - smooth between all registers and easy to play the upper register in tune. You will NOT be disappointed doing business with this up and coming mouthpiece Artisan. The packing was excellent. Fair price and great service." "Excellent craftmenship and a beautiful playing mouthpiece at a great price. I will be checking out and buying another one of your refaced mouthpieces. Shipping was very fast. Excellent !!!! A++++++" Dear Mark, I got the mouthpiece today. After the first (Selmer) I was very excited, but this mouthpiece beats anything I've played before. Of course, optimal sound is personal, but this is the tone I've been looking for for so long; even richer in the overtones than Selmer, even more dynamic, even more versatile. Thank you very much. I'll keep an eye on your offer.. "It was the best deal. I was looking for a refacer for crystal and was impressed with the work of this seller. I can recommend this purchase to everyone. Fast delivery and friendly response. I will continue to work with this seller in the future."
