Re: "replica"
I have a NOS Jim Self replica (the mouthpiece, not the person).
It's unusual as there is no maker's mark, engraving, anything, on the outside of the mouthpiece.
Most other Yamaha "replicas" I've seen just lack the two-tone gold plating of the "originals" (along with being a couple hundred bucks cheaper).
I wonder if it's a factory defect, b-stock, or something.

Re: "replica"
It's probably just a top secret replica. That's the next level down replica, at least that's my understanding.arpthark wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 8:08 pm I have a NOS Jim Self replica (the mouthpiece, not the person).
