I´m using Lawton 8*BB on tenor (.115 tip).What
would be equivalent tip opening with bari,.125-.130?
I´m new to bari so I´m interested to know what are the most used tip openings with bari when using medium reeds(7-8,.110-.120?)Thanks again for your help!

Berg 120 with VanDoren 2 1/2's. Is there a conversion factor going from tenor to bari as there is going from alto to tenor ( +20 +-)? I use a 120 on both tenor and bari.

I think tenor and bari tends to be similar tips openings. Some take a slightly larger on bari, some actually smaller. I mostly use .105-.115 on both.
