Who the 105/1 SMS-B Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Is For
The Berg Larsen 105/1 SMS-B is a bright, high-projection stainless steel tenor saxophone mouthpiece designed for players who need clarity, quick response, and strong cut in amplified or dense acoustic settings. With a 0.105 inch tip opening (commonly compared to a 7*), it suits experienced players who are comfortable with a medium-open setup and want a mouthpiece that supports assertive articulation.
The 1-B (bright) baffle/chamber and short SMS facing emphasize immediacy and punch, which makes this model a common choice for contemporary jazz, R&B, rock, and studio work where presence and definition matter. The stainless steel construction prioritizes durability and a highly reflective feel under the airstream, helping the sound stay focused at higher dynamic levels.
Common Questions About The Berg Larsen 105/1 SMS-B
What does 105 mean on a Berg Larsen tenor mouthpiece?
105 refers to the tip opening: 0.105 inches (2.67 mm). It is often considered similar to a 7* tip opening in other mouthpiece systems.
Is the 1-B chamber/baffle suited for loud bands and amplified gigs?
Yes. The 1-B (bright) design is intended to produce a more cutting, projected sound with crisp articulation, which helps the tenor sit on top of louder mixes.
What does SMS (short facing) change in how it plays?
SMS indicates a short facing curve, which typically gives a quicker response and a more immediate feel, especially at attacks and at higher dynamic levels.
