The Golden Sound of an Otto Link Mouthpiece
In 1931, Otto Link introduced the Master Link, a large-chambered metal saxophone mouthpiece with a low baffle and a small tip opening. Boasting a rich, deep sound, the Master Link was adopted by jazz tenor saxophone luminaries Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins. With such significant endorsements, Otto Link mouthpieces shot to the top of the industry, remaining a staple for nearly a century, with star players such as Stan Getz, Hank Mobley, and Dexter Gordon subsequently turning to Otto Link to help them achieve their signature tones. Modern Otto Link metal saxophone mouthpieces continue this storied tradition of high-quality craftsmanship by identifying a benchmark model — a play-tested and carefully selected vintage Florida mouthpiece — and redesigning the mouthpiece's inner dimension. Otto Link then introduced new tooling to ensure manufacturing consistency. Hand-finished with 24-karat gold plating, the Otto Link metal saxophone mouthpiece is as visually stunning as it is aurally satisfying. And saxophonists at Sweetwater find these bell metal mouthpieces are suitable for a number of styles, from smokey jazz and smooth R&B to upbeat pop and bombastic classical music. For a top-notch professional mouthpiece with a legendary pedigree, we recommend Otto Link metal saxophone mouthpieces.
