Re: Selmer Echo mouthpiece

Just tried it yesterday and now it's mine.

I love the Selmer C85, I like open tip mpcs. (120 or +), and this Echo is only 108, so I stated it wasn't for me, and did'nt pay attention to it, but I tested yesterday several Selmer clarinets and the Selmer guy told me "Why not testing our new Echo mouthpiece ?". Well, OK...

So I played it and I was very impressed and pleased :

- I have the exact same feeling than on my C85 120
- the sound is my usual sound without extra harmonics
- a more "core" sound
- the clarion and high registers are much easier to play

We talked about it with the Selmer guy, he explained that there was a lot of work on the chamber, so the closed tip is not an issue, it pushes the air straight and then the inside of the mouthpiece develops the sound.

Trivia : on a SeleS (by Selmer) Présence, it did'nt fit : it gave a really low and muffled sound, killed the high frequencies, killed the sound, it was really bad. On other Selmer clarinets (Privilège, Muse, my old L series, Récital) it was great. Also great on a Buffet-Crampon Tradition.

The Selmer Echo really worth a try.
