Berg Larsen Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
Tip Opening
The tip opening is the distance
between the tip of the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece, measured in thousands of an inch. Generally speaking, the wider
the tip opening, the softer the reed that may be used. For most beginners a narrower tip opening will result in a clearer
tone and more consistent intonation. 90: Close / 95-100: Medium Close / 100-105: Medium / 110-115: Medium Open / 120-130:

The Chamber
The degree of edge or brightness the player obtains is dictated by the size of the tone
chamber. The more 'baffle' that is built into the tone chamber, the more edge the tone will have. A '0' tone chamber will
have the most edge and a '3' will have a more mellow tone.
Facing Length
The term 'SMS ' or 'M' indicates
the choice of facing. The SMS, or French facing is usually shorter with a steeper curve. The 'M' or American facing is slightly
longer with a flatter type curve.
