Nice pick Jared.

I have an old 2013 recording comparing a metal Berg Larsen 150/2 SMS with my Florida no USA 10* Otto Link:

Recorded on the same horn (1953 Selmer SBA tenor) and reed (La Voz medium).

• Berg is on the right channel in the first solo (starting at 1:03)
• Link is on the left channel in the second solo (starting at 3:00)
• Chase choruses start at 4:57 (it's a long take!)

The Berg is a bit more gritty and less complex sounding compared to the Florida Link.

Thanks a lot Michael.

Tomorrow will afford me a listening opportunity. Today afforded a little playing time. Still fighting my lungs a bit (cough has been worse since starting to play again). I muffed about four takes before getting through this one.

Very enjoyable take Thom. Didn't hear much of the lung issue here, strong playing with lots of energy and very strong and cutting bari-tone. Got some Ronnie Cuber vibes at moments, well done.
