Berg Larsen has used ebonite for mouthpieces since 1945; its absorbent qualities contribute to the material's resonant sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBL405 110\/1 SMS specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baritone saxophone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black ebonite, also known as hard rubber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 thousandths of an inch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone chamber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1, bright.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e SMS, the traditional, shorter French facing with a steeper curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the 110\/1 SMS configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 110 tip opening measures the distance between the reed tip and mouthpiece tip in thousandths of an inch. A wider opening generally allows a softer reed, while a narrower opening can help beginners achieve a clearer tone and more consistent intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis configuration uses chamber 1, designated bright. Tone chamber size influences edge and brightness, with more baffle producing more edge. Berg Larsen identifies chamber 0 as brilliant with the most edge, 1 as bright, 2 as round, and 3 as mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SMS French facing has a shorter, steeper curve; the M American facing is slightly longer and flatter. These designations describe facing curve length rather than the actual sound of the mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your Berg Larsen mouthpiece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare tip opening, chamber, and facing with your current setup when selecting a BL405 baritone sax mouthpiece.
