Chamber size and baffle influence edge and brightness. More baffle produces more edge: chamber 0 is brilliant with the most edge, chamber 1 is bright, chamber 2 is round, and chamber 3 is mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSMS denotes the shorter French facing with a steeper curve.

Wider openings generally permit softer reeds. For beginners, a narrower opening can help produce a clearer tone and more consistent intonation. Compare this 95 opening with your current tenor setup when selecting reeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, 100\/0 SMS denotes a medium-close tenor opening, brilliant chamber, and short facing.
