Barrel Chamber?

Hello, anyone plays a "barrel chamber" mouthpiece like Selmer's C85 series on his Bb or bass?

What advantages does it offer over the trapeze chamber mouthpieces like Selmer's C or C*?

Lastly, do you like your barrel chamber mouthpiece?

thanks.

I have 2 Bb C85s 115 & 110 and I don't recall much differences between that and my main Woodwind NY piece, HS**, HS*, etc all other mpcs. I'll have a look again though. But maybe it is only for the Bass mpcs?

"Barrel Chamber" in saxophone talk refers to a totally open chambered sax mouthpiece - scooped out side walls, greater diamater in the chamber than in the part that goes over the neck.

Is this a clarinet mouthpiece with no straight side walls? Would it tune at all?
