1960's Selmer Soloist E tenor Guardala Compared to the Traditional BebopHere is an original condition Selmer Soloist E tenor mouthpiece. This piece measures . 085" on my gauge. This is an excellent condition original piece in the rare E stamp on the table. Selmer began producing these long shanked pieces in the 1960's in an effort to help the user with intonation. The great Joe Henderson can be seen and heard playing these from the 1970's and 80's. More contemporary examples include Javon Jackson.
