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 body
Thinner walls than hard rubber, so the chamber sits differently in your mouth and needs a metal-spec ligature.
Detail 03
Tenor saxophone
Tenor-only shank. It will not seat correctly on an alto or baritone neck cork.
Detail 04
New York series
A specific Otto Link production line. Facing and chamber differ from other Link series, so pieces are not interchangeable by feel.
Detail 05
$549
Professional tier. Expect to keep it for years and have it refaced rather than replaced.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No ligature or cap is included, budget for a metal-spec set
- 02Your neck cork may need refitting or shaving for a snug seal
- 03Reed strength usually drops half a step moving to a 7 tip
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 7 tip too open for me?
A 7 is a common step up from stock mouthpieces. If you play a 5 or 6 now, expect more air needed and slightly softer reeds.
02Does it include a ligature?
No. You will need a ligature and cap sized for a metal tenor mouthpiece.
03Will my current ligature fit?
Only if it is cut for metal tenor pieces. Hard rubber ligatures are too wide and will not tighten down properly.
04What reed strength should I start with?
Most players land around a 2.5 or 3 on a 7 tip. Start softer than your current reed and work up.
