I should clarify then. Three piece mouthpieces in and of themselves are not rare at all, and plenty of shops can make them. The custom mouthpiece shop Giardinelli's once had in New York city is no longer there, and I believe that Giardinelli mail order does not have three piece tuba mouthpieces or the Butterfield mouthpiece readily available, if at all.
I lived in NJ (home of Mr. Butterfield for those non-east coasters) over 20 years and never saw another 3 piece Butterfield mouthpiece.
Based on their current lack of availability and relative few number made, I would say they are rare. I am selling this mouthpiece as a collector's item as much as I am selling it to play on.
I am not out to dupe anybody, just to connect with an interested party.
