Chamber and baffle design influence edge and brightness: 0 is brilliant, 1 is bright, 2 is round, and 3 is mellow. More baffle generally produces more edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M facing designation refers to the length and curve of the facing, not the tone chamber's sound. SMS is the shorter French-style facing with a steeper curve; M is the slightly longer American-style facing with a flatter curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMatching the reed and tip opening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTip opening is the gap between the tip of the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece, measured in thousandths of an inch. Wider openings generally allow softer reeds; a narrower opening can help beginners achieve a clearer tone and more consistent intonation. Compare this 75 opening with your current setup when choosing your next mouthpiece.\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 designation 100\/0 SMS in the original tenor mouthpiece example means a medium-close tip opening, brilliant chamber, and short facing.
