This is a Berg Larsen I purchased at the local music store. It had a big chip in the right rail. The baffle was too low on the right side and the facing was too long on the left side. It was also very open and the facing did not give a reading at the fulcrum station. It has taken a lot of work on the diamond stone. Now it is an 8 with a solid reading at the fulcrum. I see this problem a lot on metal mouthpieces. The Level Air a few posts down had the same problem. I have not play tested this one yet, but I think it will be interesting. It may be a little too bright for blending with the sax section.
