The
Brilhart Ebolin 3

* is a classic saxophone mouthpiece known for its distinctive black plastic body and white bite plate. While originally popular in the mid-20th century among jazz legends like Lester Young and Charlie Parker, the Ebolin line has recently been put back into production using original 1950s molds.

Key Specifications & Features
  • Tip Opening: On modern and vintage charts, a 3* typically measures around .071″ to .080″ for alto and approximately .085″ for tenor. However, vintage Brilhart openings are notoriously inconsistent, often varying significantly from their stamped size.
  • Chamber & Baffle: It features a medium chamber with straight side walls and a low/gradual rollover baffle. This design focuses the tone, providing a bright, resonant sound with significant “edge” and carrying power.
  • Material: Made from durable injection-molded plastic (Ebolin), which maintains its jet-black color over decades unlike hard rubber models that may fade.
