BERG LARSEN

SOLD
Berg Larsen Vintage “Scoopbill” model, 95/2/M (1970’s?) (updated 4/29/2019)
“Bergs with a very pronounced upward scoop right behind the bite-plate are called ‘Scoop Bill’ Bergs. These all have a straight drop off at the back of the baffle. These did not change in design very much from the early 1950s through the 1980s. The only real change was the machinery used to make the facings during the above mentioned manufacturing plant change.” (From Theo Wanne’s Mouthpiece Museum- https://theowanne.com/knowledge/mouthpiece-museum/berg-larsen-mouthpieces/
Unlike the Duckbill, this is the Scoopbill, which is latter in the chronology,
From Theo Wanne’s Mouthpiece Museum-https://theowanne.com/knowledge/mouthpiece-museum/berg-larsen-mouthpieces/:
“During the period of the ‘Duck Bill’ vintage Berg Larsen mouthpieces the factory moved, and all the tooling used to make them changed as well. The clearest way to delineate beween these two major phases in Berg Larsen history is to look at the machine marks left on the table by the machines used to make the facings. The older mouthpieces had a denim look to the table which was created by a stone grinding wheel. The later mouthpieces had arced machine marks going from side to side created by a milling machine.”
This Berg does have the Vertical “Denim” machining marks on the table, the latter ones have the Horizontal Denim marks. This has the Horizontal Denim marks.
The “0” indicates the designation for the highest and therefore brightest sounding baffle, “3” a lower baffle, and somewhat darker, as such. This is a “2”, a medium baffle. Some discoloration on the table, but no damage at all to this one. With original ligature. In Good condition, no bite marks on bite plate. Less open than the 105/2 we have featured. Like a 6* $350

SOLD
Berg Larsen “Vintage” Duck Bill Long Table model, 90/0/M, (Probably from the 1960’s) (updated 4/29/2019)
Good shape with no nicks or dings on tip or rails. Bite plate has a big mark on the right hand side. Has the straight and not the Slant signature for the Berg Larsen Logo. Also, has a long table and long overall length, but not quite as long as the “Very Vintage” model listed above. So this is at the later end of the run of the “Vintage” Duck Bill Bergs. Duck Bill Bergs have a very mild upward slope right behind the bite-plate. These are also often called 'Bullet Chamber' mouthpieces because of the V shaped drop off at the back of the baffle that looks like the tip of a bullet. They also have the vintage denim look machine marks on the table.

SOLD
Berg Larsen (M), #130/0/SMS
Excellent condition; comes with original ligature. The term 'SMS ' or 'M' indicates the choice of facing. The SMS, or French facing is usually shorter with a steeper curve. The 'M' or American facing is slightly longer with a flatter type curve. This model has the horizontal denim markings (so does the #110/1 we have), and is in that extreme wide open 130 facing that I don’t believe is being manufactured anymore! At least it is not listed on the Woodwind Brasswind site; the facings going only up to #120. Sax stars such as Lenny Picket of Tower of Power, and SNL fame employ this same 130/0 facing! Plus with the “0” baffle, (the highest, brightest table) this really sings! On the baffle someone “Scooped” out a small ? section, which kind of adds a Thrill to the sound. Tested by us, this mouthpiece sounds great! Hard to find, priced well at $275

PONZOL

SOLD
Ponzol M2 PLUS Size 105
“The most powerful Ponzol mouthpiece ever. More edge than the M2, more centered sound. Highly recommended for Keilwerth saxophones as it helps to center the sound.”

“Made from the best CNC machines and cut from food grade stainless steel, the Peter Ponzol  M2 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece is provides the tenor player with a darker warmer sound, with even greater projection.  Even if you have one or more Ponzol mouthpieces, you owe it to yourself to try the new ones…Brighter and more direct than the M2 but still centered and full sounding. Great for Jazz, Smooth Jazz and Rock.”
105 (*7) and 110 (8*) tip openings.
