Wider openings generally allow softer reeds. A narrower opening can help beginners produce a clearer tone and more consistent intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chamber and baffle influence brightness and edge. More baffle creates more edge: chamber 0 is brilliant with the most edge, chamber 1 is bright, chamber 2 is round, and chamber 3 is mellow. This 70\/2 SMS configuration uses chamber 2, described as round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSMS identifies the shorter French facing with a steeper curve; M identifies the slightly longer American facing with a flatter curve. These terms describe the facing curve length rather than the actual sound of the mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a guide to the numbering system, the manufacturer's tenor example 100\/0 SMS means a medium-close tenor tip opening, brilliant chamber, and short facing.
