Re: Selmer HS** and Legere European

HS** #2 arrived yesterday in good as new condition. It plays a little bit "softer" (like it is more closed) but is still good as gold. I guess it's primary and HS** #1 is backup (older and chipped tip). And I've adjusted to the feel of this setup. Tuning has settled down as well. Endurance will be the key (can I maintain this good play for months and beyond?), but this appears to be a watershed week.

I also had opportunity to audition an old Selmer Goldentone #3, part of the same family (?). Plays just as well for me as the HS**, I might try it again another day as an alternate. Are these similar? And I retried the HS*--- no good for me.

And the Legere European is magic. Not sure I need to order 17(!), but perhaps enough to be sure I'm never without 1 or 2. No playing or endurance issues whatsoever, still on my first one. Even doing the no-no of playing it every day.
