First I had a Bundy for 300 Euros, to try, then I had the chance to pick up a 1988 Selmer in an excellent shape (almost as new) at a very fair price. The Bundy wasn't that bad with a Selmer mouthpiece, but when I tried a Selmer and a Leblanc, well... it was another world. I didn't like the ergonomy on the Leblanc, I felt better with the Selmer, but the Leblanc sounded really good. The guy that let me try the Leblanc had a Pomarico mouthpiece, impressive.

I use alto sax reeds too (Légère Studio) on a C* mpc.
