Legends CHASE 1973: This mouthpiece is a replica of the custom mouthpiece that Bill Chase was using at the time of his tragic death in 1974. In 1972, Chase visited Renold Schilke, who copied his mouthpiece which had been made by Ray Amado in 1966. Mr. Schilke made some significant changes to the 1966 design, and sold the new design as the 6A4A. He continued to modifiy Bill Chase's personal mouthpiece when Chase would return to the shop periodically, until it was perfected in 1973. The Legends CHASE 1973 is a duplicate of the rim, cup, throat, and backbore of the final perfected mouthpiece, personally owned and used by Bill Chase.

The inside rim diameter is 0.630", the cup is a shallow bowl, and the throat is a #27. 

*Special thanks to J. J. Martin, jazz historian and expert on Bill Chase, for lending the original to us to be scanned for CNC replication.
