I happen to really enjoy the Beechler Bellites. I use a #110 opening on my tenor and I get an excellent sound from it. It can play very contemporary stuff as well as subdued ballads. I have also used it in numerous swing sessions. I use LaVoz reeds that are medium in strength and have recently learned that this is the exact set-up that contemporary artist Gerald Albright uses. I don't like many of his songs although he is an excellent improviser with a t-die-for sound. Most of his albums are crud but I really enjoy "Live at Birdland West". Use samples from this CD to determine what your sound could be like but remember that everybody's sound is different. I might also mention that it might take a while to get use to the set-up if you go for it. :)

A Berg with a 0 chamber will be very bright. The thing with Bergs is that their quality has been a little "spotty" over the years. I've had some really good ones and they work well for me. Others to consider are Vandoren Jumbo Java, Runyan Quantum, (older) Brillhart Levelair (these can sometimes be had for peanuts) or try putting a baffle in a Link STM. You can make them really bright but still kind of "Linky".
