Dukoff Transitional Tenor saxophone mouthpiece .100

This is a beautiful Dukoff Transitional tenor saxophone mouthpiece re-balanced and opened up to a .100 by Tommy Occhiuto. It is made of nickel plated Brass with a high step baffle and is a pre-runner to the Super Power Chamber, (made between the transition from the Miami model to the Super Power Chamber,) although they were not marked as such.

IMO these transitionals are much more stable and better players than the Silverite material that is extremely soft and easily damaged.
This one produces a sound like early Michael Brecker who used a similar mouthpiece in the 70's-80's.

Here's some Dukoff History on this model:

TRANSITIONAL MOUTHPIECES (1963):

These mouthpieces are nickel plated, solid cast brass. They came in two styles. One had the same chamber as the Super Power Chamber mouthpiece but did not say Super Power Chamber. The second style looks similar on the outside and is also nickel plated solid brass, but had a chamber much like a Brilhart. It had a small roll-over baffle, lower floor and an almost oval medium chamber. Most of these models had a serial number with the exception of a few pieces at the end of the run.
