Great Review!! I have an Otto Link modern vintage 7 mouthpiece for tenor sax and it is the best mouthpiece I've ever had! But unfortunately the bore is too small so I am planning on buying a new neck.

[@javierquesada798]

the regular one sounds softer I definitely like it

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Great video man! Yeah checking out the weight, it does make quite a difference.

sound with STM MV 6 - is what I will try to do when I start playing something over than chromatic scale :)

[@MO-1888]

Thank you, nice playing, nice work.

New vintage series are the best modern ones. Have had one for several years, but nothing can beat real links from 50s-60s.

cruise ship gig? thats one lucky show band

Thank you, Good Sir. Bought 7* in 1978. Never researched but looks/plays radically different than 3 recently made OLs. I came across....? not sure about "new". ? Prefer the metal JJ7 these days. Was gonna comment on your great subtones until i heard the screamer tag. Snap....like butter...sure ..right. So, break out the flute.... then the oboe. Willing to grant you the entire clarinet. family :] Finally, plating is an art especially on heavily contured substrates.

love your sound man! I play metal links on alto

[@jjlivepattern]

otto link is a lot like Selmer use to be and is. That ‘finish’ that plating is going to come off. Apparently Its only temporary. I was surprised. These modern links sounded really really good. Great even. The standard / regular Link sounded fine. I think I would buy that one. I am an Otto Link Fan. Great playing and channel as always! 🌟 World Peace Hey Trains are CooL

after going through lot of metal links i ended up buying a used morgan fry original rhodium and stopped looking at links , the morgan fry was far superior than any link i used to own

I wouldn’t go near a new Otto link. A friend of mine was struggling with her link. I checked out the flatness on the face which the reed sits against was terribly made. I’ve heard numerous other comments on bad manufacturing of Otto link mouthpieces too. I’d spend my money on better made equipment.

So i did a bit of research on gold plating brass, since I might as well use my Chemistry knowledge for something.

I went to the Namm convention in January. And the person I spoke to from the JJ Babbitt company was a brass player. I believe that’s a little odd to have somebody who doesn’t even the mouthpieces or even the instrument represent the company. I also debate whether I should even purchase mouthpieces from them because of their terrible quality control. I would like to buy one of their new Florida Links but unfortunately they have crooked baffles and other cosmetic issues. I would prefer to invest my money in a product that does not require refacing. Another great video, just had to say my thoughts since it’s about Otto Link.

[@javierquesada798]

en su cuarto in her room it sounds the same to me. I think with the echo the difference is more noticeable

[@ernietollar407]

if i attempt to re-seat my metal otto link alto piece for a better seal i could lose it, so i just play 2 1/2 red box vandored with a soft rovner. and once it sealing great i leave it untouched as mush as possible

[@WAXTRACK]

what piece were you playing at beginning?

[@alsiemens2186]

Otto Link has quality control problems. My first mouthpiece (STM) had an asymmetrical spine so the ligature, which is shaped to the spine was useless. I took it back. The replacement was better and could hold the reed. It was later I discovered the chin was asymmetrical and the table was not flat. In addition, one rail had a curve in the middle and the finish is now spotted. It is one year old. Although it is playable, I am sure it could be better. I have been carefully correcting these issues, except for the finish, over time but none of this should have passsed final inspection at the factory.
