Does anyone out there have any information regarding Bob Reeves' OLD numbering system? Ex: 3S44 or 3S33? What does each number/letter represent with the old system? I have a couple older pieces and can't recall what those specs were.

My first Reeves Mouthpiece experience was in 1970-71, model 1S695. I still have it though badly damaged. I replaced it with the 41S695 which K. O. Skinsness (then with Reeves) represented as the "same" but with a new model designation. Since then, John Snell at Reeves had reiterated that same information.
Your best option would be to call Reeves and get their insight.

Thanks. Yes, I have thought about calling Reeves, I just did not want to bother them with questions of an old piece if someone here might already know. If no one here knows for sure, I'll give them a call.
