I bought this mouthpiece as a "blemished" item and received it in May. It's a 120/0 and it somewhat reminded me of my old Larsen but with a little less bite to the tone. I was thinking this would be a good piece for certain settings but after about 6 weeks of playing it one of the solder points on the ligature broke. I played it for another month with only one screw working on the ligature but then that solder joint also gave out.

I PURCHASED A KING SUPER 20 " CLEVELAND" SILVER BELL AND KEYS BACK IN THE EARLY 60'S NOT KNOWING A WHOLE LOT BACK THEN I BOUGHT THE BERG 130/0 ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS SILVER AND IT MATCHED THE HORN. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET SOUND OUT OF IT WAS TO HOOK IT UP TO A LEAF BLOWER, SO ON THE BACK BURNER IT WENT. AFTER MANY YEARS OF PLAYING DIFFERENT MOUTHPIECES I WENT BACK TO THE BERG AND BEEN PLAYING EVER SINCE. THIS MOUTHPIECE WITH THE RIGHT REED WILL BREAK GLASS,FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO PLAY IN A BAND AND EVERYONE HAS A MIKE BUT YOU, YET SOMEONE SAYS THE BAND IS GREAT BUT THE SAX PLAYER IS TO LOUD-----CHECK THE MOUTHPIECE IT'S A BERG LARSEN.

Just got this mouthpiece. I know that others say the ligature isn't good, but in my case it simply does not even fit around the reed. I have tried some others what I have, including a Rovner but even that one is too big. So, I'll need to figure out a workaround. I did play the mouthpiece briefly using a rubber band but I'm pretty bummed that I can't use this thing out the box.

I've played 2 different Links, a S-80, a Personaline, a Buffet-Crampon vintage piece, a Dukoff, and a Wanne. This doesn't achieve the ultra sweet, rich Link type tone. But I've played this 110/2 about 10 hours, and the low notes are easier, and the overall tone is big- robust - full. Any player with any mouthpiece will need work on long tones, overtones etc. to sound itheir best. This one gives me a lot of pleasure; I don't feel like I'm fighting it. It can go from smoky/mellow to very pure/vulnerale to roaring/aggressive. There's a rock n roll gear this one has that I've never experienced before. Very aggressive without being harsh. The ligature is fine, functions better than Link metal ligs. Con - it's loose on my cork, so remporarily I'm using tape to hold it on.

I was looking for a little more edge. I use an Otto Link metal, which works well most of the time. The new Berg Larsen is just what I needed.

I play a lot of rock and old rock n' roll gigs (or used to before covid). This is the perfect mouthpiece for me. I've tried many, from expensive to not so much, and have not found anything I like better. You can play soft, or push it to loud with good altissimo. Best with a medium soft to soft reed (D'addario select jazz 2H is perfect.

Fabulous vintage tenor sound.

This mouthpiece is for jazz, yakety sax, horn section work, fat punchy sound with brighter highs and honkier lows. Requires more diaphragm push, and a softer reed to be more consistent with my rubber VanDoren that I use for darker more velvety overtones on softer songs. I use a Rico 3 on the VanDoren and a Rico 2 on the Berg Larsen. Picking the right model Berg takes some thinking and experimentation if you can. I would buy a medium open 100 - 115 and a lay of 0 or 1. I think the 1 is plenty bright, but more versatile than the 0. I have owned both.

I bought a BL 100/0 with the intention of cutting through a thick, electrified wedding-band rhythm section - and it did exactly that. The sound is bright with the right amount of edge while retaining a "fuzzy" (think Sonny Rollins) warmth that saxophone is known for. Four stars is for the ligature that needed reforming, which was easy enough to do but it would have been nice to get a finished product right out of the box. I play a late 60's Mark VI with a Vandoren Java Red 3.0

I never liked my sound on tenor until now!d
