BERG LARSEN Charlie Ventura Model - 100/2 Offset M (-)

This is one of the rarest Berg Larsen mouthpieces ever produced.  We only have a picture of one, because we have only ever seen one.  These mouthpieces were originally offered in Model 1 or Model 2 form.  The one we have pictured is a Model 2.  The Model 2 has a medium facing lay.  The Model 1 had a large facing lay.  These mouthpieces are fantastic players as well.  The one we have has loads of power, and a nice darkness to the sound.  The Charlie Ventura modal Berg Larsen is the same mouthpiece as the Stainless Steel Slant Signature.  It just has the larger .100" tip opening that Charlie Ventura used.  That being said, we have seen an original 100/2 Offset M SS Slant Signature Berg that wasn't a Charlie Venture model.

 

Charecteristics of Charlie Ventura Model:

  • Charlie Ventura signature on back of barrel
  • Berg Larsen signature stamp at slant on shank
  • 100/2 Offset M facing on shank under table
  • Duckbill beak
  • Bullet Chamber
  • Long Table that extends past the end of the reed
  • Denim machine milling marks on table

 

Because these vintage Charlie Ventura model Bergs are so rare, they are incredibly sought after.  They fetch much higher prices than any other Berg Larsen mouthpieces out there.  They can sell over night with price tags reaching above $1000.  No other vintage Bergs come close to this.
