Chamber size and the baffle influence edge and brightness: 0 is brilliant, 1 is bright, 2 is round, and 3 is mellow. More baffle generally adds edge, with chamber 0 offering the most edge and chamber 3 a mellower character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstand your facing and tip opening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SMS (French) facing is shorter with a steeper curve; the M (American) facing is slightly longer with a flatter curve. The facing designation describes curve length, not the mouthpiece's actual sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTip opening measures the distance between the tip of the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece in thousandths of an inch. Wider openings generally allow softer reeds. Narrower openings can help beginners achieve a clearer tone and more consistent intonation. Compare this 115 opening with your current mouthpiece when selecting your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1938\/4111\/files\/Diagram_480x480.jpg?v=1678477379\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, the original guide's tenor example 100\/0 SMS means a medium-close tip opening, brilliant chamber, and short facing.
