Re: Selmer B* Mouthpiece

The B* is the slightly-more-open sibling of the HS*. If the facing is in good shape, I think you'll be very pleased with it.

I started with an HS* and it's still one of my favorites. It's unusually stable and easy to play in the altissimo, and holds its tonal character at any dynamic. The B* should share these fine qualities.

It's worth noting that the HS* was included with some Signet and many Selmer Paris clarinets. If they weren't, I'd wager that we'd see a higher percentage of other models extant today.
