Kicking up this old thread as I found it before I went to Saxquest.

I play on a Buffet Prestige and my main priorities for playing bass is to blend in the professional orchestral setting.

I was using a b40 that had a great focused low register but had flat throat tones, stuffy low clarion and low g’s cracked all the time.

I have a b50 that remedied these problems but the sound was growly. It isn’t a mouthpiece id want to bring into an orchestra.

I tried a bunch of different mouthpieces. The Selmer focus was the best, with the concept requiring a bit more work to get the same result.

I liked the bd5 but it cracked on the low notes as my experience with the b40 and the sound wasn’t as focused. If I had to choose a vandoren, it would be a bd5.

The focus was absolutely worth the hefty price tag. I have never tried a mouthpiece on bass that met my needs so well.

It’s strange because I know a lot of Selmer privilege players don’t like the focus, but darn it is really quite perfect on the prestige. Way to go Selmer!
