How did you get on with that Link?
I can recommend a Ponzol.

Which model? C* is just the tip size.

It's good but a tad too much of an opening for me....Will be placing it in the yard sale.

Yeh, they are good those Ponzols 😉

I'm also open to try other models ie.. soloist or super session

What was the tip opening of the Ponzol that was too wide? The Selmer C* is very narrow, at 0.067", something like a Link 5. You might find that goes too far the other way.

If you're on a budget and want a new mouthpiece you could try one of the new prologue mouthpieces from selmer - they're made from resin - simllar to the yamaha 4c mouthpiece but sellers own slant on a good budget mouthpiece - comes in one opening. Sax.co.uk have them I believe and john myalls in croydon will be getting them shortly.

No, my Ponzol is a great piece, i was referring to an Otto Link i bought which is a 7

It's more about trying a Selmer S80 or similar to get an idea if it's suitable for me. Don't want to splash out on new to find i don't like.

Sue has gratefully agreed to loan me one to try out with a view to buy

I've looked at m/ps this seller has listed before and his 'other items' everything he has sold, without fail, was the bandmaster's personal item.
