Otto Link Tone Edge - Hard Rubber Tenor Sax Mouthpiece Reviews
Only had it a couple of weeks so still playing it in, but happy with it so far
I tried the Otto Link ebonite Tenor mouthpiece in a 5 and was very impressed. It was easy to blow and felt comfortable in the mouth and was very like my usual mouthpiece. I would definitely recommend it.
The best mouthpiece I have ever had
Arrive in good time great condition
Exactly what I wanted Will recommend.
Great product, easy to use
I purchased without trying the mouthpiece first, as I\'m not exactly local to Dawkes, and as a beginner on tenor didn\'t feel I\'d gain much spending £20 on petrol. Very happy with the sound it makes on my YTS-475.
Easy to play. Improved my sound.
This is now my ‘go to’ mouthpiece. It gives my sound that gentle raspy edge. It is very easy to play and fits my mouth shape which allows me to relax and concentrate on the music.
Exactly what I wanted and I felt a good price.
