Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a Beechler Metal mouthpiece as my teacher recommended it (Model 8). As I was surfing the interweb I couldn't find a Beechler Metal Mouthpiece #8, but only a Beechler Metal Mouthpiece BELLITE Mouthpiece #8. My question is, is that the mouthpiece I'm looking for? Or are there two types of Beechler Metal Mouthpieces (Normal and Belitte). Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I couldn't find anything that answered the question.

While I'm writing this thread I might aswell ask, what is the difference between a Selmer C* S80 and a Selmer C** S80?

Thanks in advanced!

Bellite is the metal beechler...and a C** is just slightly more open than the C*

Thanks, you summed up what I needed in one sentence.

Just another question then, what does the larger opening in the C** mean? Different tone perhaps?

 

[CountSpatula]

Not really sure because it's really not that big of a difference size wise...I'll leave that up to the people who have compared them though sorry.

I have a FAQ answer on my site about tip openings.
