Hey guys (and ladies),
Got any tips for Baroque-esque pieces? I'm going for more of a mellower tone.

Gracias y paz

New- old beuscher mouthpieces or any other moutphiece with a very narrow tip openning, a big chamber and as little baffle/no baffle if possible.

Baroque as in Rascher I assume? Sorry I'm not that educated on the matter, and from what Jules is telling you as far as a recommendation it sounds like you're from the Rascher school of saxophone. I would recommend not going near Selmer pieces, mostly Caravan and Morgan pieces work best for the Rascher type sound!
