1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Metal baritone sax mouthpiece in a 7* tip. Otto Link's rounded-chamber design for players who want body and volume without harshness.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bari players in big bands who need to project over brass
- Funk and R&B sections wanting weight with some edge
- Doublers moving up from a stock bari mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical bari repertoire calling for a dark, blended sound
- Beginners who cannot yet fill a bari with steady air
- Players wanting maximum brightness and bite
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
Metal construction
Thinner walls than hard rubber, so the piece feels smaller in the mouth and adds brightness to the core.
Detail 03
Baritone saxophone sizing
Fits bari necks only. Bari mouthpieces are considerably larger than tenor and will not interchange.
Detail 04
Large rounded chamber
Air expands behind the tip rather than hitting a ledge, giving a fuller, rounder tone than baffled designs.
Detail 05
Otto Link facing curve
A medium-length curve that balances response in the low register with control up top.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ligature and cap are not included; buy one cut for metal bari pieces
- 02Expect to try a couple of reed strengths, often 2 to 3, before settling
- 03Your neck cork may need refitting for a metal piece
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the 7* mean?
It is the tip opening, the gap between reed tip and mouthpiece tip. 7* is a middle-of-the-road bari opening, wider than a 6 and narrower than an 8.
02Does a ligature come with it?
No. Metal bari mouthpieces need a ligature sized specifically for them; a hard rubber bari ligature will be too large.
03Is this bright or dark?
Middle ground. The metal body adds brightness, but the large rounded chamber keeps it fuller and rounder than a high-baffle mouthpiece.
04Will this fit my baritone neck?
It is cut for standard bari cork. Coming off a hard rubber piece, the cork may be too thick and need sanding by a tech.
