Re: Selmer HS** and Legere European

The Selmer HS** has the same lay length and tip opening as the D, however they are quite different mouthpieces as the profile of the lay curve is quite different between them.

Selmer themselves stated this in the literature of those times.

My understanding was that the D lay was intended to help produce what was then considered a more "modern" clarinet sound whereas the HS** and HS* were both derived from the original HS, which was supposed to be based on Henri Selmer's own personal mouthpiece.
