Subj: Re: Selmer Signet Soloist Bb Clarinet? HS* Mouthpiece?

Chris, the chart in the Woodwind catalog lists the Selmer HS* mouthpiece
as being on the far end of mouthpieces in terms of a short facing and
small tip opening. Based on my reading, this would make it a very
conservative mouthpiece requiring a very hard reed and perhaps lacking
dynamic range. But everyone needs the mouthpiece that fits them.
