All I know is what Selmer says: "The sound prodused with the C95 mouthpiece
is less bright while offering a very easy blowing feeling." The tip
openings available are 123, 126, and 130 mm (126 standard) which makes them
pretty open, and the facing runs fairly long (22, 22, and 24 mm
respectively). I have not personally tried one, but if the C85 has any
failing (and it IS my regular mouthpiece, with a Selmer Series 10) it is in
being a trifle bright, which I find a Rovner ligature helps control.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
