Starr,
I HIGHLY recommend the new Selmer 85 series. I bought the
115-over-85 and am just thrilled with it. I have shown it to two other
pro's who immediately went out and bought one. It is that good. I think
it is a vast improvement over the venerable C* (I never liked that
mouthpiece for some reason).
