Seeking: Wood Mouthpiece for Bb sop clarinet

[Gandalfe]

I've got a vintage boxwood clarinet (http://gandalfe.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!51AA828BCB20646!3624.entry) from the 1800s that I'm toying with having Steve or Suzy turn a barrel for. Then I'd like to find a wood mouthpiece to complete the look. This instrument will not be played, it's just a piece of art that illicits a lot of questions.

I'm looking on eBay and the like but wondered if anyone had a wooden mouthpiece for a Bb soprano clarinet they'd sell me. It doesn't have to be in mint condition or even playable--cracks are okay. I don't want to purchase a new, shiny one for this instrument.

aren't the real vintage ones (with the cuts for string to be used) quite a bit longer than the modern ones ?

i've seen the really old ones one ebay from time to time though have never had one in my hands

fyi, zinner makes wood mpcs ... so they are out there

I've got one. It doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the ones in your picture.

It was made in the 1930's.

Make me an offer I can't refuse :).

I would buy a Zinner blank. Even with the stock facing it should play decently.
