A early era Berg stainless steel, metal Tenor mouthpiece with original ligature with a "0" stamp(no cap). The early Duckbill shape is too close to the 1980s+ Straightbill design, but the table marking are the clearer help for identifying the era... plus the offset M.

  • Modern Berg markings, Tone Chamber:
    • 0 = Brilliant
    • 1 = Bright
    • 2 = Round

"SMS" Marking is for Short Facing length (vs "M"). This early example has the crooked; or what we call the "offset" stamp.

WWS re-purchased this from a client after many years - I was happy to rebuy it.Β  Comes with an original era box - black top and red label; but the under marking are a different tip size..
