Tenor saxophone mouthpiece, a Francois Louis metal mouthpiece. The material is bronze with silver plating. Refaced by Atsumi Koubou, so it is not in original condition and is not suitable for collectors. However, it is rather improved as a player's condition compared to the original, and is ideal as a main mouthpiece. Specifically, the refacing involved adjusting the too-long facing to a proper length. The original character of Francois Louis remains intact. Although it is sometimes categorized as a vintage item in musical instrument stores, Francois Louis made bronze mouthpieces around 2016, which is relatively recent. Compared to the Francois Louis all-silver mouthpieces, which have significant individual differences, the manufacturing is stable and the individual differences are relatively small. It is difficult to obtain because it is not in the main line.
