Otto Link Vintage Metal - Tenor Saxophone - 7*

Otto Link: a historic signature in the saxophone world

Within the large family of saxophone mouthpieces, Otto Link has established itself as an essential brand, particularly associated with jazz. Its identity is based on mouthpieces designed to offer sonic substance and natural projection, with demanding manufacturing aimed at consistency. This model fits within that tradition: a mouthpiece seeking controlled power and expressive playing, while remaining true to the "Link" aesthetic.

For which saxophonist and styles?

This Otto Link mouthpiece is intended for the tenor saxophone and primarily targets musicians oriented towards jazz. It is well suited for intermediate to advanced saxophonists who want to gain projection and breadth, as well as for more experienced players looking for a mouthpiece with character. It is also comfortable in big band, funk, or variety contexts whenever a tenor that stands out in the mix is desired.

Sound and design

With its wide chamber, this mouthpiece promotes an "open" sound sensation: the timbre gains in roundness and density, while maintaining effective projection. The metal generally provides a direct response and a nice attack, useful for articulation and dynamics. The 2.67 mm tip opening contributes to the balance between ease of play and dynamic potential, with a good volume reserve when pushing air. The metal ligature ensures stable reed holding, and the whole setup remains coherent for expressive playing from the low register to the altissimo.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best out of this mouthpiece, favor tenor saxophone reeds suited to your approach (softer reeds to facilitate response, harder reeds to withstand more pressure and stabilize the sound). A tenor saxophone swab is also a relevant choice for routine maintenance and longevity of the equipment.
