Re: Anyone played the Selmer Concept bass mouthpiece?

I'll have to try one for myself. I love the B50 in most regards, but I do agree with you, SHJ, about the issue of control at softer dynamics. It almost feels like subtoning on a saxophone at times, though obviously there is nowhere near as much resistance in the low register as a saxophone. It's not anything that I haven't figured out how to work with, but growing smoothly from pianissimo to fortissimo can be a bit more challenging than on my old Fobes.

If the Concept makes that any easier without sacrificing the clear, powerful, even tone and reassuring dynamic "headroom" of the B50, it just might be worth the extra money.
