Used to play both on my Selmer Series 10, still play a Selmer C85 115
sometimes (less finicky, with bigger sound). My regular good mouthpiece is
a Woodwind (Leblanc) K10M. Although I usually use the C85 (with Legere)
for big band gigging, this Saturday night I will probably use the K10M
(with a different Legere). I was trying things last night and found a good
combination. When you are playing sax most of the night but have to switch
every set or two for one number where clarinet is critical (i.e., Begin the
Beguine or Moonlight Serenade) the Legere is the way to go!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
