I own around 10 different mouthpieces and have played on many more and I can say that the Selmer S80 is the best all round. I wish I had bought one years ago and saved myself a lot of money, the reason I didn't was because I was under the misapprehension that it was a 'classical' mouthpiece, whereas I played mainly jazz. Well actually this is a brilliant mouthpiece, whatever genre you play. With a Vandoren Blue 2 1/2 reed on either my Yamaha YAS62 or TJ Sig Custom RAW, it sounds great, has excellent response and plays easily and consistently at the top, middle and bottom of the range in any style you want. Superb!
