mystery c melody mouthpiece

What is it, how old is it, how much is it worth, how can I make it better... Please Note - pictures help a lot !

mystery c melody mouthpiece

Postby allenlowe on Sat Jul 10, 2010 7:24 pm

this one came with an old stencil c melody horn -

it says: c/c and then: ch.chederville/Paris (I think; the letters are somewhat faded)

I'm pretty certain it's a c melody piece, as my c melody reeds fit.

anybody ever hear of it?

thanks -

Allen - Yep, I've got one just like it in the box of 20's C-Mel mouthpieces. Looks slightly better quality than your average 20's mouthpiece, but mine has aged just as badly, don't you just love that vintage ebonite taste... :roll:

Do a 'Google' on chedeville mouthpiece

I'll take a picture and a couple of measurements tomorrow and add them to this post.

Regards, Alan

thanks, though I'll probably sell the sucker.
