Mark, I have the c85 w/both the 105 and 120 facing. You might want to try
out different facings if you really like your c85. My 105 plays
great-but it tends to be shrilllike at the upper register. The 120 is
better, but does not project as well. I like my Gigilotti P34-but it
lowers the pitch. Can't win, but I can try!

George
