Mouthpiece Work / Metal Berg

SUBJECT: Metal Berg
I have just finished a metal Berg. It was one of those with the"lake" in it right from the tip. It was a 95/1/sms. After refacing to 110 thou with 24 mil length and straightening and polishing the baffle , the piece plays very well but I would like it to have a bit more balls in the bottom end. It has a bullet chamber. Would altering the chamber to be more like a Guardala Brecker make the bottom end thicker? Thanks Ross McIntyre

The Berg 1 chamber has a fairly narrow bore (or chamber as some call it) after the 'bullet' which contributes to its focussed tone quality. You would need to find a way of enlarging the bore to fatten up the bottom end, which I think would be difficult . . .
