Subj: Selmer mouthpieces: for Ron Monsen

My apologies to the list. Ron, I lost your address but wanted to respond
to your message. The C95 120 is agreeable. The mouthpiece "manipulates"
my sound nicely (as opposed to letting it all through the clarinet and
out the bell loudly and without "cover"). The 126 facing, on the other
hand, does not seem to manipulate the sound. I find it too "direct" (a
subscriber to this list with a devil-may-care attitude might use the word
"bright" here, but you didn't hear me say it!!!). I was unable to test
the 130 facing because the cork was too new and my barrel socket would
not accept it. I will return the mouthpieces shortly. Again, thank you.

Bill: I may have "lost" a recent posting to you--just curious about your
opinion of the C95--I really can't add much in the way of commentary to
the klarinet list--24 university majors, full time wind quintet, etc etc
but I enjoy your postings. No ned to hurry the mouthpieces.
