SAXOPHONES

This Buescher Truetone bass (circa 1925) was originally imported to England for Adrian Rollini. It was subsequently owned by bandleader Harry Gold. I use a Toots Mondello mouthpiece refaced by Ed Pillinger and Rico 2.5 reeds

This is the same actual bass pictured on the front of the book The Bass Saxophone by Josef Skvorecky:

This is the Toots Mondello Special Swing Club, New York baritone mouthpiece which came with the horn. I use a copy of this mouthpiece that has been refaced by Ed Pillinger with a wider tip opening
