| NEW! Otto Link Vintage Metal for Tenor |
A quick check over this mouthpiece gives a good idea of what you're dealing with here. This mouthpiece has huge chamber- significantly larger than Link's other 'big chamber' model- the New York. A play test confirmed this- this 'piece has a huge, dark tone more reminiscent of some sort of ebonite 'piece than a metal one. The response from top to bottom was smooth and even- with a surprisingly lively and robust altissimo. Stanley Turrentine or Lester Young style players should be able to immediately relate to this design….
In commemoration of the 90th birthday of Otto Link mouthpieces, and in an attempt to recapture the sound of an earlier period, as well as in response to year-long requests by the saxophone community, Babbitt released a new line of new ‘Vintage’ mouthpieces in 2009. During the development period, Babbitt asked many of the top tenor sax players from coast to coast testing these mouthpieces. The design of the chamber, baffle, and outside of the mouthpieces is close to old models during the Florida period. They are packaged in a black box with gold lettering (like "double ring" mouthpieces). Each mouthpiece has a serial number. They feature the same shank as earlier Tone Master models. |
