WRM00003

An exceptionally rare and pristine example of the first-generation Brilhart Ebolin from the Great Neck, N.Y. era (circa 1948), this mouthpiece represents the pinnacle of Arnold Brilhart’s craftsmanship. Made from Brilhart’s unique ebonite-resin composite, it combines the tonal depth of hard rubber with the projection of modern synthetics.

The Ebolin “Great Neck” models are prized for their rich, velvety tone, excellent focus, and effortless response across registers. With a tip opening of 2, this piece offers outstanding control and lyrical smoothness—perfect for players seeking a warm, centered sound ideal for ballad work, studio sessions, or classical crossover performance. The original facing remains intact, ensuring it retains the characteristic Brilhart balance of flexibility and precision.

This example is in mint condition (5/5), showing virtually no wear and maintaining crisp engraving and bite plate integrity. It is a true collector’s piece, embodying one of the most desirable designs in vintage mouthpiece history.
