Hi SOTW,
I've startet playing in two different hiphop groups, and i feel I need a mouthpiece that fits with the genre.
I'm an intermediate player and I'm now using a Phil Tone metal Otto Link NY 7# with Rico 2½ reeds (wich I got for playing jazz). I've also got a metal Berg 120/2, which i think is a little too open for me, but its closer to the sound I feel I need.
What I'm looking for is a mpc that cuts through and gives me a clear sound that is suited for playing rythmic music, especially hip hop.
Should I go for a less open mpc with a harder read you think?
I would like to stick with metal.
By the way I'm playing a 1948 Conn 10m tenor.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks, Simon

Try a Berg in 120/0 or 1

If it's actually .120, it might be hard to handle, but if it's actually .115,(I had a .120/2 that was actually .115) try to get used to it. As long as your intonation is not a problem.

I have all sorts of bergs...including ones that are hand faced hard rubber. Feel free to contact me.

Here's some great Hip Hop tenor playing:

Branford's playing a Guardala.

I would like to stick with metal.

WHY???

In any case, the Berg should do the job.
