Retro Revival | UK Special Replica 1950’s Berg Hard Rubber Baritone

The Retro Revival “UK Special” hard rubber baritone is a beautiful replica of a 1950’s Berg Larsen 110/2 model. This amazing performing mouthpiece was originally played by the legendary Hollywood woodwind specialist Gene Cipriano, who used this mouthpiece on countless recordings and soundtracks. This replica duplicates the fat, dense sound of the original mouthpiece from which it is copied. It articulates crisply and is stunningly positive in the low register.

Berg Larsen was originally known as a professional musician and reed maker in Archer Street London.  In 1945, he designed and manufactured a range of ebonite mouthpieces for clarinet and saxophone which later evolved into a range made out of stainless steel for an increased lifespan. Berg Larsen Mouthpieces have a unique design: a small chamber with flat side walls and beautiful side rails.
