Re: Otto Link MPC compare - five 70's vintage Early Babbitt's vs one 50's Florida no maybe it's just me, but i hear you fighting the mpc / tip opening on the first improv solo, and on the final melody chorus. Some nice sounding stuff in the middle, very Paul-Gonsalves.

I never considered playing a mouthpiece this big and so had never tried one until a friend really wanted a mouthpiece of mine and I agreed to take this one in trade for it. I'm REALLY impressed.
It plays so easily. I couldn't believe it.
I'm used to much smaller tips(5-7) and hard reeds. The sound of this mouthpiece is so BIG and rich and full.and when you push it.LOUD! My friend was using it for organ trio gigs and he is a fantastic player. Original facing. There is a nick in the window, as shown in the pics, but it's not affecting anything important, in my opinion, as the mouthpiece PLAYS SO WELL.
Beautiful baffle. Gold plate looks very nice. This is a REALLY GREAT mouthpiece. Otto Link Hard Rubber Tone Edge Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece.
Refaced by Eric Greiffenhagen to.100 Plays very nicely. One of the easiest altissimo ranges I have had on any mouthpiece- so I know Eric is certainly doing something right. Quite free blowing and accommodating of hard reeds.
Generally this piece struck me as quite reed friendly. I believe it to be what is referred to as an Early Babbitt. But I do not think it is a Florida blank Early Babbitt. In any case it is one of the nicest HR links i've had.
Probably the nicest. Some small indentations on the top side near the Otto Link logo where somebody has tightened a Francois Louis ligature so tight it has left a slight impression. Signed by Eric.

As you can see. The bite plate has a scratch on it, but there is a clear plastic protector on top. The table has discoloration. The tip's baffle has discoloration. I offer a return policy in case you find it too ugly-looking upon arrival.

I suppose this might even be a 100% Florida made straight sig tone edge-I have heard they exist, not sure, but in any case it's killer.

Or, as described on SOTW, one of the latter'1st Tone Edges' but in any case, it's a real-deal EB Slant Body, and it's killer.
I'm used to slightly larger openings, but this one didn't cramp my style at all. Warm and with just enough focus is how I would describe it.

This is an original facing'Early Babbitt' Otto Link tenor mouthpiece. Measures right around.110' It is the best mouthpiece(with a large facing) that I have played in my career thus far. Joel Frahm owned and played it intermittently for about a decade before he put it on consignment at Roberto's. Where I purchased it. It was the mouthpiece that I used while I was finishing up my undergraduate degree at Juilliard and for the last year or so freelancing around New York.
My understanding is that I cannot post links to this listing, but if you search for me on the internet you can here some clips of my playing on my personal website(Chase Baird' I'm using a beautiful 8. Florida link on those recordings. This'early babbitt' could can play circles around that mouthpiece.
It is difficult to make this piece sound. Just enough baffle material to enable it to project with a slight brilliance when wanted, but also dark and resistant when played with a different approach. Versatile and extremely well balanced. I have been wanting to switch to a small tip opening for the past five years and finally found a 5. USA Florida that I love. I am a bit reluctant to sell this one but A) it needs to be played and B) I'd rather have the cash than have a great mouthpiece that sits in a drawer.
I hope it goes to someone who can really appreciate it! It will be listed once or maybe twice here on Ebay. If no takers then I will put it up on consignment at Roberto's for about $1500.

Rare Original Early Babbitt Late Florida Otto Link Super Tone Master 7 Metal Tenor Saxophone Vintage Mouthpiece Full original facing. Original denim facing marks on the table.
Very thin original side and tip rails. This is a real Early Babbitt STM made in the 70's in one of the most sought after tip opening. Among Early Babbitts. This one is the earlier Late Florida version with a longer rollover baffle.
The mouthpiece everybody is looking for! Very easy to play. Fantastic warm and powerful sound. Hot and edgy when needed! Overall condition is excellent. A few light scratches here and there. Plating wear here and there.
Don't miss the opportunity to buy this exceptional mouthpiece. Masterpiece of musical history! Very few remain on the market today: they are so cherished by professional musicians and sought after by collectors. Sure it will be quite impossible to find another like this one, in this tip opening and at this price!
