Wilton Felder

Can anyone tell me what set-up Wilton Felder uses on his Tenor sax? I am particularly interested in finding out which mouthpiece he uses.

Thanks

I read on SOTW that he used a stock berg larsen and it was posted by Tim Price.

I also read on inhert the wind album sleeve that he plays Yamaha saxes.

I guess none of the above need be accurate when you consider
how we all change around, but I can easily imagine that sound from this set up using a metal berg.
I love his sound, but wouldn't use a modern metal berg as IMHO they do dictate a certain 'buzzy'ness thats the mouthpiece and not the player.
I know a couple of guys with the same set up who sound exactly the same. I tried one and it happened to me.
Its not a bad sound... it just wasn't personal.
Maybe WF had an older one or just doesn't have the same problem. (assuming the above to be corect)
