whats wrong with a square chamber?
new classical mouthpiece
I currently play on a Selmer s80 C. I really do not like how closed the tip on the mouthpiece is, and would prefer a round chamber, not square. I've checked out the Vandoren V5. Anyone have any other suggestions?
This is for a purple logo YAS-62. Im looking for a classical mouthpiece that has a round chamber and a relatively open tip (probably something equivalent to a E facing....not positive though..). Thanks.

The Rousseau's are nice. Try the R or the NC's. If you want to go a bit darker you could try a Morgan 3C. A vintage Selmer Airflow would have a nice round chamber if you can find one.
Square chamber = square soundgrevsax24 said:whats wrong with a square chamber?
Round chamber = round sound
Consider one of the Vandoren V5 mouthpieces. Not quite a round chamber, but not square either.
Caravan medium chamber is a great mouthpiece too, as is the almost-round Optimum AL3.
I guess ill be trying Vandoren V5 and Optimum, Morgans, Caravans, and Rosseau's classical models (if i can get my hands on them). thanks for the suggestions!
A28 Vandoren, round throat, large chamber and more open then a C*. I like them, i toss up between that and my S90 180(refaced to about 200) everytime i set up my sax.
Selmer S90 i find to have a more complex sound but the A28 has a beautiful warm purity.
The Lomax classic is also a great mouthpiece maybe in a M or MC
