I just want to ask that comparing yani metal and Selmer SS, is the yani metal is more brighter than the selmer SS? I've tried a SS H and sound ok to me.But a little dark to me. I prefer a little brighter sound mpc compare to this. Thanks for any input. Happy Playing

I had an SS-I and J , and the Yani plays a little edgier than the SS when pushed. The yani is not necessarily brighter, if that makes any sense.

The Yani sounds more "metallic" and contemporary to me.

I suggest trying a Link STM also. I have had good luck with them playing out of the box.

the yani is much more in your face than the Selmer,

These are actually my two favorite mouthpieces for soprano. The sound I achieve is similar with both, but they respond differently. Neither of them are what I would call 'dark'. The Yani (#7) is quick to respond, easy articulation, rich altissimo. The SS has a bigger sound in the low notes, but thins out in the palm keys, however it is much easier to subtone with and easier to get a broad dynamic range. THe Yani can be pushed to higher volume levels. I mostly play the Yani, except in small acoustic venues. I'm playing a Yani S990.

Yani's are much better quality pieces than Links. Similar design. I like the Yani a lot better than the SS, it wasn't enough different than the S80 I had. SS's are nice mouthpieces though.
