Otto Link: a historic reference among jazz saxophonists
Tested and adopted by generations of saxophonists, Otto Link mouthpieces have established themselves as a reliable choice thanks to their distinctive sound and consistent manufacturing. The "New York" version stands out with a more generous chamber (the internal volume of the mouthpiece), designed to achieve a rounder and fuller sound on tenor saxophone.
For which saxophonist and styles?
This mouthpiece for tenor saxophone is particularly aimed at musicians oriented towards jazz, from intermediate to professional level, seeking a broad sound, good projection, and comfortable control over dynamics. It is also well suited for big band and contemporary music contexts whenever a warm timbre is desired.
Sound and design
With its wider "New York" chamber, this mouthpiece encourages a round tone and flexible response while maintaining strong presence. Its 2.54 mm tip opening affects resistance and ease of play: the larger the opening, the more freedom the mouthpiece can offer, to be adjusted with reed choice. The metal body provides a direct response feel and effective projection, ideal in ensemble settings.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of this mouthpiece, plan for tenor saxophone reeds suited to your approach (strength and cut), as well as a mouthpiece brush/swab for regular maintenance.
