Otto Link TOLM-LA Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece - LA Model

The new Otto Link LA model marked the beginning of a groundbreaking collaboration between Link and Theo Wanne. Engineered to reshape the industry, this tenor mouthpiece features a smaller chamber and a higher baffle for increased projection, quicker response, and a sharper attack—while preserving the classic Otto Link character, only brighter. And best of all, it’s crafted in partnership with 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 LA Model? The Otto Link LA model by Theo Wanne produces the brightest, most punchy sound of all four models. Thanks to the partnership with Theo, the LA sound is paired with exceptional response. The LA uses the highest baffle and the smallest chamber, giving the most power and projection of all four models.
