The Selmer S facing (Bb) has a medium, 1.15mm tip opening (same as C**) and
a short, 17.00mm lay. That is the shortest lay of any Selmer facing on the
whole chart, and the only model that short. The rest are 18.00mm ("medium"
as they describe it) or 19.00 ("long").

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