For classical...
Soprano is Super action 80 series II. selmer c*/c**. size 3 blue box vandoren.
alto is SA 80 Series III. selmer C* soloist from 1970. that is a HUGE difference from C*'s made now.
size 4 and 5 blue box vandoren.
For a classical sound, i specifically use selmer soloists from 1970 and back, they are made completely different than selmer mthpcs now and they create an amazing sound.
