A is the darkest sounding, and is intended for concert work. B is the middle of the road version, and is best for work in most bands. C is the brightest, and is intended for jazz and rock. For soprano and baritone the only chamber available is the B variety." The number is the facing: "Facing (3, 5, or 7): The facing is determined by the distance from the tip of the reed to where it first touches the mouthpiece. The bigger the facing number, the farther back the reed goes before actually touching the mouthpiece. Changing the facing of the mouthpiece will generally change the volume of the instrument. With a shorter facing (3), less of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be quieter, with a longer facing (7), more of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be louder." **Q: Does the mouthpiece fit over or into the neck (male or female?)** A: mouthpiece fits over the neck piece of the sax **Q: Any ligature?Or does the ligature mate specific to the mouthpiece?** A: If the ligature is for tenor it should work **Q: Which would fit a buesher 200 series tenor sax** A: You might have to have the cork on the neck redone if the mouthpiece does not fit snug. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***Z on 3 December 2022* Excelente boquilla.
