My YBS is an older horn--SN# 0025xx. Repadded with Music Medic Roo Pads(domed seamless resos). Mouthpiece : Lawton SS 6*BB with Bari* Med reeds. This is my big band setup-use Lawton goldplate 6*B for darker sound for quartet etc. YBS is a great playing bari! Stronger, more projection than Selmer 80. Keywork feels like my YTS-875 so easy to change horns.

Jim, how do the Roo pads hold up?

Mouthpieces and why you play them: Selmer C* ... my teacher told me to... but looking for a new one.
Reed: Vandoren 3s
Sound Concepts/music style played: mixture. Classical/jazz
Comments: First sax that I've actually owned. I've become quite attached to it. Smile Others were rented.

Not a REAL Selmer man JP? Mr. Green

Just kidding, of course.

When it's free and through the school...certainly not Mr. Green

But of course, if it were a Serie II, I'd probably have a much niftier setup Cool Twisted Evil
