Detail 01
Metal body
Thinner walls than hard rubber for the same chamber, so the piece is physically slimmer in your mouth and brighter.

Otto LinkMetal Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece 6*
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A metal alto saxophone mouthpiece with a 6* facing. For players who want more projection and edge than a hard rubber piece gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cutting through a horn section or loud rhythm section
- Rock, funk and R&B alto players who need bite
- Anyone outgrowing a stock student mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building embouchure and air support
- Classical alto players wanting a dark, blended tone
- Players who need a ligature and cap in the box
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
6* facing
A moderately open tip. More volume and flexibility available, but it asks for steadier air than a close facing.
Detail 03
Alto sizing
Fits an alto neck cork only. Tenor and soprano necks are different diameters and will not seat.
Detail 04
Otto Link design
A large-chamber jazz voice — fuller and rounder than small-chamber pieces, which is why it stays warm when pushed.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no ligature, cap or reed included
- 02Metal bodies are slimmer, so a hard rubber ligature usually will not fit
- 03A 6* often plays best with a softer reed than you use on a close facing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will my current ligature fit?
Probably not. Metal mouthpieces have a narrower body than hard rubber ones, so most rubber-piece ligatures sit too loose. Plan on a metal-specific ligature.
02Is 6* too open for me?
It is a mid-open facing. If you play a stock student mouthpiece, expect to work harder on air and drop a reed strength while you adjust.
03Does metal automatically mean bright?
Partly. The material and the thinner walls add edge, but the large chamber keeps some warmth. It projects more than it thins out.
04Will it fit my tenor?
No. This is an alto mouthpiece. The bore is sized for an alto neck and will not seat on a tenor cork.
