Otto Link metal mouthpieces have long been the benchmark for jazz tenor saxophonists. Over the years, production techniques and designs have changed, creating several distinct Otto Link voices. The “New York” Otto Link tenor is a contemporary reimagining of the original New York “Tone Master” pieces. The Otto Link New York Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece delivers the darkest, most mellow tone among the lineup. As of 2026, all New York models are machined by Theo Wanne.
Who is Theo Wanne? Theo Wanne is widely regarded as the leading mouthpiece maker today. Combining innovative designs with advanced machining, he produces some of the finest mouthpieces available. When JJ Babbitt, the makers of Otto Link, wanted to enhance their Otto Link tenor sax mouthpiece line, they partnered with Theo—an alliance aimed at redefining the saxophone mouthpiece market.
4 Models – One Soul
Theo Wanne will machine the new production of Otto Link metal tenor sax mouthpieces. His team begins with solid bar-stock brass and machines the entire mouthpiece from that single piece—eliminating the previous two-piece cores that were brazed together. The chamber, table, rails, facing and baffle are all produced in this machining process.
After machining, the mouthpieces go to the Babbitt team—trained by Theo and his crew to a new exacting standard—for final buffing, cleanup of machining marks, and hand-finishing before gold-over-rhodium plating. The result is a hand-finished Link that retains Theo’s precise machining and, most importantly, plays beautifully.
All four models feature the Otto Link “core” to their sound, but with unique baffles, chambers and facings to produce your best sound. These models are:
New York – Based on the original New York “Tone Master” – lowest baffle, large chamber – dark, mellow tone.
Super Tone Master – The iconic Otto Link core sound meets modern response.
Florida – Higher roll over baffle for a brighter edge than the Super Tone Master.
LA – An all new design with a smaller chamber and the highest baffle for the most projection and attack, but a brighter sound.
Why Choose the New York Model?
The Otto Link New York model by Theo Wanne produces the darkest, mellowest sound of all four models. Thanks to the partnership with Theo, the STM sound is now paired with exceptional response. The New York uses the lowest baffle and the largest chamber, so it does require more breath support than the other models.
