Berg LarsenMetal Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece 110/1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece with a wide tip opening. For players who want volume and edge and already have the embouchure for it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud stages where a rubber piece disappears behind the band
- Rock, R&B, and blues horn sections that need cut
- Players with settled embouchure moving up from a stock mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — a .110 tip is hard to control early on
- Classical and concert band, where a darker rubber piece fits better
- Anyone unwilling to change reed strength to match
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Metal body
Thinner walls than hard rubber allow a different chamber shape. Generally brighter and more projecting than a rubber piece.
Detail 03
The /1 chamber designation
Berg Larsen pairs tip opening with a chamber number. The chamber shapes how much core versus edge you get.
Detail 04
Tenor saxophone
Tenor bore and neck cork only. It will not fit an alto neck.
Detail 05
Around $400
Serious-player pricing. This is a tone decision, not a replacement part.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No ligature, cap, or reeds included — budget for all three
- 02A wide tip usually means dropping a half to full reed strength
- 03Metal bodies need a metal-fit ligature; a rubber-fit one will not close
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with a 110 tip?
Most players drop a half to a full strength versus a stock mouthpiece. If you play 3 now, start at 2.5 and adjust from there.
02Is this good for a beginner?
No. A .110 tip demands air support and a settled embouchure. A student on this will fight pitch and get tired fast.
03Does it come with a ligature?
No. Ligature, cap, and reeds are separate. Make sure the ligature is sized for metal tenor mouthpieces, not rubber.
04Will it fit my alto?
No. This is a tenor mouthpiece and will not seat on an alto neck.
