Otto Link SUPER TONE MASTER BARITONE 6*

An Otto Link Essential: A Reference That Spans Eras

In the world of saxophone mouthpieces, Otto Link holds a special place: a name associated with a "jazz" sound aesthetic that has become a benchmark. This model has established itself over the decades thanks to a design aimed at offering both personality and control, with a warm yet clear output. Its longevity (over 50 years of success) speaks volumes about its ability to adapt to evolving playing styles, genres, and musicians' demands.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This Otto Link mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists, as well as professionals seeking a round sound and stable response. It is naturally comfortable in jazz, but its versatility also covers pop, funk, big band, or more subdued contexts where control and precision are as important as projection. The choice of opening will allow you to fine-tune resistance and breath sensation according to your approach.

Sound and Design

The signature of this mouthpiece lies in a highly sought-after compromise: a round timbre with good attack definition, to remain clear both in a section and as a soloist. The playing experience is designed to stay easy to control, which helps stabilize intonation and shape dynamics without struggling with sound production. The various openings available (tip opening) allow adjustment of the feel: the larger the opening, the more freedom and richness the mouthpiece can offer, at the cost of a breath and reed demand often better suited to advanced players.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve playing comfort and the longevity of your equipment, you can complement with a self-adhesive mouthpiece patch (protects teeth and stabilizes the embouchure) and a dedicated mouthpiece cleaning swab to limit deposits and maintain consistent response. Since the ligature and mouthpiece cap are included, you already have the essentials to get started.
