The Story
The Otto Link Tone Edge is a cornerstone of jazz history, representing the iconic Otto Link sound made famous by players such as Stan Getz, Bob Reynolds, Michael Brecker, Chris Potter, and many more.
For generations, it has delivered the sound players associate with classic hard rubber Link: warm, full-bodied, and deeply resonant, with a thick core that holds together across the full range of the instrument. It’s the mouthpiece that can sound smooth and round in soft passages, then respond with clarity and presence when the music calls for more.
Tip Opening: 6 - .090
Material: Rubber molded and vulcanized.
As a hard rubber mouthpiece, it begins with JJ Babbitt’s proprietary molded and vulcanized rubber process, which helps create the tonal foundation that defines the Link sound. From there, modern precision and tighter process control through our manufacturing partnership with Theo Wanne Mouthpieces ensures the design intent is executed more consistently from mouthpiece to mouthpiece.
