Brilhart Level-Air 5 s/n 3172 Stainless
Steel. This is the version made before Selmer in 1966 took
over Brilhart company as seen by the milling marks across
the table and the glossy baffle. These are better players
than the later ones. Very interesting mouthpiece for those
who like Berg Larsen and Dukoff. Has a surprisingly dark
core, but can also really wail. |
