That was my 50's-vintage Buffet R-13 with a custom Jim Kanter mouthpiece made from a Rifau blank. Jim worked for decades in the Hollywood studios and his mouthpieces are now collectors items. He was my teacher at UCSB 1978-79.

My B-flat is a Selmer series 9, which is the last series they made with the straight tone holes. I love that horn.

I played an HS* in High School! I still have it as my second emergency backup mouthpiece. The first emergency backup is one of Jims earlier adaptations of a VanDoren mouthpiece.
