The facing designation describes the curve length, rather than the tone chamber's sound. The tip opening is the distance between the reed tip and mouthpiece tip; wider openings generally allow the use of softer reeds, while narrower openings can help beginners achieve a clearer tone and more consistent intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding Berg Larsen chamber numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChamber design and baffle shape influence edge and brightness: 0 is brilliant, 1 is bright, 2 is round, and 3 is mellow. This 120\/2 SMS configuration uses chamber 2 for a round tonal character. Ebonite's absorbent qualities contribute to its resonant sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Berg Larsen mouthpiece tip opening, tone chamber and facing guide\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1938\/4111\/files\/Diagram_480x480.jpg?v=1678477379\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berg Larsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68237193937116,"sku":"MLAR+ 120\/2 SMS","price":449.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1938\/4111\/products\/MLAR_6b609748-7f39-4e9b-9524-bbee4e30d253.jpg?v=1612383695","url":"https:\/\/store.weinermusic.com\/en-ca\/products\/berg-larsen-alto-sax-ebonite-mouthpiece-120-2-sms-bl402-out-of-range","provider":"Weinermusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
