Product Information
Otto Link LA Hard Rubber Tenor Sax Mouthpiece – Product Description
The Otto Link LA represents the most modern extension of the Otto Link voice ever created. Designed for contemporary players and contemporary stages, the LA blends the unmistakable Otto Link core with added clarity, immediacy, and projection. This is not a departure from Otto Link — it's an expansion of what an Otto Link can do, meeting the demands of modern playing without abandoning the legacy that made the brand iconic.
The LA Hard Rubber begins with JJ Babbitt's proprietary moulded and vulcanised hard rubber process, establishing a rich tonal foundation and familiar Link core with warmth and depth especially present in the low register. A smaller chamber and higher baffle deliver fast attack, focused response, and added edge when needed. Through partnership with Theo Wanne, manufacturing brings tighter process control and consistency, ensuring every mouthpiece reflects the design intent with confidence.
This is the hard rubber Link for players who want flexibility — moving between warm, lyrical playing and assertive, contemporary expression while retaining the feel and response of hard rubber. Ideal for rock, pop, funk, fusion, and all contemporary styles where versatility, projection, and modern edge matter alongside the traditional Link core. Available in tip openings: 4* (.075), 5 (.080), 5* (.085), 6 (.090), 6* (.095), 7 (.100), 7* (.105), 8 (.110), 8* (.115).
