Otto Link Mouthpiece: The Definitive Guide
By MN

New Otto Link Florida Babbitt College

As a preface to this guide, I would like to give insight on my experience with these mouthpieces. With any mass-manufacturing process there is an obvious need for quality control. Like every company, Otto Link has and continues to do their best to ensure that every product that is distributed is properly made. This is a great system we have, however we do not live in a perfect world. When professionally adjusted, every single one of the mouthpiece that I discuss will definitely play BETTER. Of course there are limits to how much a mouthpiece can be refaced (just as you can only rotate your tires so many times before they need replacing), but a mouthpiece is a tool and should be treated as so (when a tool is broken, it is corrected). I see far too many original mouthpieces in terrible adjustment yet the current market dictates that originality should command more than playability.
Another issue that seems to always arise is the new-vs-vintage argument. These tools are made with the principle that the user has a command over their instrument. On the saxophone, one must master the harmonic overtone series to have a clear command over every aspect of their instrument. The late Joe Allard was world renowned for his methods into saxophone embouchure development (along with others eg. Sigurd Rascher, Larry Teal) and any serious student of the saxophone should study those concepts to great lengths. Otto Link still makes great mouthpieces. Their design is different from previous years, but it was always changing. Since we live in a world of individuality and difference, there will always be choice, and personal preference. Some players adore the new design, and some do not. Otto Link is constantly working on new ideas and will hopefully keep releasing great tools to for us to make great music.

METAL OTTO LINK MOUTHPIECES:

Master Link Series: These mouthpieces were actually the first production mouthpiece by Otto Link. There is some debate that Lelandais had used the same blanks/design for their “Supere-Jazz Modele” as both mouthpieces are notoriously similar. These pieces were pioneered by Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, etc. While they came in smaller facings they are very lush sounding mouthpieces, and when refaced well they can be a spectacular mouthpiece. Steve Grossman currently uses a 4**** model. In value, they usually reach around the $350 mark however excellent condition originals, as well as superbly refaced examples can reach over $500.

Master Link (NYC, NY)
-These mouthpieces featured a large chamber (the largest ever in Otto Link production)
-First mouthpieces had an integral ligature much like a Sugal, or Lawton which clipped into the cut-outs on the side of the mouthpiece

Master Link 4**** (NYC, NY)
-Basically identical on the insides to the previous model, but they lost the cut-outs on the exterior of the mouthpiece and were issued with the first slip on lig offered by Otto Link, with no ridge.

Tone Master Series: These mouthpieces were the pieces that really put them on the map in my opinion. They were so good that Bobby Dukoff started to make pieces that were almost exactly the same. Soon enough the mouthpiece was seen on albums like Blue Train and everybody had to have an Otto Link. In value, these usually reach $500 and under, but once again. Excellent condition originals, and expertly refaced examples have reach close to $1000 online.

Tone Master (NYC, NY)
-These mouthpieces boasted a smaller chamber, and considerably more baffle material than the previous models, making them able to project like no other mouthpiece.
-Issued with large slip on ligs with Otto Link written in a circle on the thumb screw.

“New and Improved” Tone Master (NYC, NY)
-Same chamber, but higher baffle and in a red & white box stating, “New and Improved”

Super Tone Master Series: These mouthpieces were the next mouthpiece in a long succession of “Super Tone Master” mouthpieces. The first models, the “Double Ring” are highly prized among players/collectors due to their excellent playability and their fame due to previous legends who have played them over the years. In value, these mouthpieces generally lie in the $500-$1000 range, but excellent condition originals, and expertly refaced examples have exceeded $2000 online.

Super Tone Master Double Ring (NYC, NY)
-The first STM made (also came in a red & white box with a NYC address)
-These pieces boasted an even smaller chamber (though still very large) and a longer baffle.
-They also had the address stamped on the shank like the Tone Masters and issued with the same ligs.

Super Tone Master Double Ring (Pompano Beach, FLA)
-Essentially the same exact mouthpiece as previous, but the address was not on the shank and they came in black & gold boxes.

Super Tone Master No USA (Pompano Beach, FLA)
-First ones came in black & gold boxes, most came in the gold & black writing boxes
-Used by Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, etc.
-Issued with the T lig, which was basically the same lig as before but with T stamped on the thumb screw.

Super Tone Master USA (Pompano Beach, FLA)
-Same exact mouthpiece as previous release except with USA stamped on the shank in big letters

Super Tone Master USA Big Font (Pompano Beach, FLA)
-Somebody coined these as “Early Babbitt” mouthpieces a few years ago, however they came in gold boxes with black writting addressed to 21 SW 5th St. not 121 SW 5th St.
-These were shorter than the previous model, with different body dimensions inside and out.
-They also had narrower tips than the previous STMs.

Super Tone Master USA Big Font (Elkhart, IND)
-These are what I call the real Early Babbitt mouthpieces.
-They came in P.O. Box boxes addressed in Elkhart IN, and 2201 Industrial Pkwy boxes.
-They have the number on the side.
