schilke mouthpieces

Post by jtuba »

Has anyone ever seen a Schilke mouthpiece that looks like the old
Conn 2 design? I bought a moutpiece recently and just got it today, and it looks nothing like any Schilke I've seen before. Thanks.

Also 66, and maybe 67. Was there a number on it?

There is a 67 stamped on the shank, and Schilke is stamped on the rim.

It's just older from before the time they switched to a mirafone looking blank. I have a couple Schilke 62s that look like that.

I've got a 67 like that and bought it in 1972 in person from Reginald Schilke. It was always interesting to visit them and see what they were working on as well as some of the famous muscians that would stop by. I don't know when they switched from the old 67 to the current one.
