I have been playing on the same Selmer Soloist C** alto sax mouthpiece for about 40 years. I recently decided to try something new and after about a week of research I decided to try the Selmer Concept. I placed the order with ProWinds on Tuesday around noon and it was delivered on Friday around noon. Thanks for the quick delivery ProWinds! The mouthpiece comes in a nice velvet (or velveteen) pouch and one Selmer mouthpiece cushion. I've never used a mouthpiece cushion before but I decided to use this one since I did not want to scratch the mouthpiece in case I didn't like it and wanted to return it. The table of the Concept is longer than the one on my Soloist, but the weights seem to be similar. Once I put the mouthpiece on and started playing I immediately noticed that the low notes (C#, C, B, and Bflat) were much easier to play than on my Soloist mouthpiece. The sound of the Concept is similar to the Soloist, but a little different. The tone is very centered, focused, and sweet-sounding. I think the Concept won't play as loudly as the Soloist, but I am very pleased with it and can't wait to keep playing it and exploring it's tonal nuances.

The sound is just amazing! Very rich and warm, yet crisp and clean. It was also with great pleasure dealing with ProWinds. Thank you so much!
