A friend just purchased a York sousaphone and had it rehabbed by Dana Hofer. He asked if there was a "York mouthpiece" that the manufacturer shipped with the tuba or sousaphone, even if it was a stencil supplied by an actual mouthpiece maker.
If so, does anyone have one that they would sell? How much $$?
Thanks,
Steve

Here's one. There's bids on it, though.

Re: York mouthpiece?
To determine what you’re looking for you need to know what sort of York it is...
J.W.York & Sons?
York Band Instrument Co.?
York?
York Master?
The mouthpiece mentioned above is too early for a Sousaphone...

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

The horn is from 1929 and the bell engraving simply says: York / Grand Rapids, Michigan / USA.
