Your links to the photos [zip files] do not work properly - unpacking shows many faults and produces empty folders mate ...

Suggest you post the actual photos, if you want to sell the Duckbill - I may be tempted

Hi Sunray...
I've just realized the link (for the zip file of the 115/1 M) didn't work.

I already fixed it. Check out. 😉

Just clicked your link - downloaded - still the same does not contain any files in folder - Here is an Example of the list


! C:\Users\Name of computer\Desktop\Berg_115_1_M_Offset.zip: Cannot create folder Bocchino Berg Larsen Duckbill 115:1 M Offset (per sax tenore)
The directory name is invalid.

This is repeated many many times ... for missing or incorrect file names ... 🙁

Pretty strange... the zip worked for me (on two differents computers).

Anyway... have a a look here: http://fotoalbum.virgilio.it/tzadik/berg_105_1/ 😉

Thanks for taking time to put up the working link for us tzadik ...

I have had a good look and read many posts both here and SOTW about these pieces and my initial thoughts are:

No thanks, mainly due to the variations between "great, good, OK and not so good" ... [They seem to vary quite a lot].

Good luck with your sale though, I'm sure it will find a new master ...

Cheers ...

Berg often lacked in consistance... both vintage and new ones.
I'm selling this for a friend who collect saxophones and mouthpieces.
He choosed this piece about 5 years ago between 5/6 others Berg "1" chamber.
This piece plays fine... if you are looking for Berg "1" chamber (= compact medium-to-bright sound...).

As usual, if you are looking for a big fat sound (or even for a Sonny Rollins vibe)... this piece is not proper.
