Conn Bari sax mouthpiece selection

Could anyone give me some ideas as to what mouthpiece to try for a 1927 Conn bari sax - primarily for jazz applications?

    try a HR Link Tone edge, I find that to be a good combo, or a Runyon Custom if you like rubber/plastic pieces for metal you cant go wrong with a JJ ESP or a metal link STM, depending on wether you are going for a bright or dark sound concept

      I've heard some good things about Ralph Morgan's ?? Have you any advice on his vintage model??

    Hello, I think the vintage berg larsen piece work great on conn baritones. Both the rubber and metal sound great, but the metal is obviously brighter. My favorite piece on my early 30's conn bari is a florida link (metal), they are hard to find but worth the bread and wait.

      Just be sure to buy VINTAGE and not the new ones, bergs arent as good as they use to be....
