An Otto Link Classic Designed to Stand the Test of Time
Present for over 50 years in the jazz mouthpiece world, the Otto Link mouthpiece has established itself as a must-have thanks to its versatility and instantly recognizable sonic identity. The version featuring the "New York" chamber emphasizes a wider and rounder aesthetic while maintaining the precision and ease of control that have made the brand renowned among discerning musicians.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate, advanced, and professional saxophonists seeking an expressive mouthpiece capable of covering a wide range without being overwhelmed. It naturally fits in jazz (straight-ahead, swing, bop), but is also very suitable for pop, funk, or fusion whenever you are looking for a round, stable sound that is easy to channel, especially in a group context.
Sound and Design
The "New York" chamber, reported to be wider than the traditional chamber, promotes a rounder and more enveloping sound. The result: comfortable projection, a sound that sits easily in the mix, and a pleasing sense of control for working on intonation, dynamics, and tone color. The various tip openings available allow fine adjustment of resistance and airflow: the larger the opening, the more freedom and power the mouthpiece can offer, provided you have the appropriate support and reed.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To extend the lifespan and maintain consistent feel, a swab or mouthpiece brush (post-playing maintenance) as well as mouthpiece patches (embouchure comfort and table protection) are simple and generally suitable additions for mouthpiece use. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are already included.
