Otto Link Series L.a. 5* - Tenor

Otto Link L.A.: The Otto Link Legacy Revisited with a Modern Spirit

A key reference in the world of jazz saxophone mouthpieces, Otto Link has been associated for decades with a broad, expressive, and musical sound. With the L.A., the brand preserves this heritage while steering it towards a more contemporary aesthetic: a more present attack, more direct projection, and a sense of control that meets the expectations of today's saxophonists.

For Which Tenor Saxophonist and Style?

This mouthpiece is aimed at the intermediate to advanced saxophonist looking for a tenor sax mouthpiece with a jazz profile, capable of carrying a chorus effortlessly while remaining usable in section playing. Its "modern" sound identity is particularly suited to contemporary jazz, funk-jazz, and current music contexts where presence and projection are essential.

Sound and Design

The Otto Link L.A. is made of ebonite, a material appreciated for its balance between warmth and definition. Its concept aims for a more centered timbre and a sensation of controlled edge : the attack stands out better, fast passages gain clarity, and the projection remains strong without making the sound aggressive. The 5* tip opening offers a good compromise between ease of play and expressive range, useful for working on dynamics, articulation, and intonation across the entire range.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

As this mouthpiece comes with a metal ligature and a mouthpiece cap, a truly useful daily accessory is a tenor saxophone swab to remove moisture after playing and preserve the mouthpiece's longevity.
