Otto Link LA Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
Made with Theo Wanne
The new Otto Link LA model was what started the new revolutionary partnership between Link and Theo Wanne. This was a new model design that was destined to change the industry through this partnership. The “LA” Otto Link tenor mouthpiece is designed with a smaller chamber and a higher baffle to produce enhanced projection, response and attack – all while maintaining the traditional Otto Link core – just a brighter version of it! Best of all, it is made with Theo Wanne!
Who is Theo Wanne?
For those who are not familiar with Theo, he is considered by most as the preeminent mouthpiece maker in the world. With unique designs and state of the art machines, Theo builds the world’s highest quality mouthpieces on the market. So when JJ Babbitt (the makers of Otto Link) sought to improve the Otto Link tenor sax mouthpiece line, they reached out to Theo for the collaboration that will redefine the sax mouthpiece market.
4 Models – One Soul
The new production of Otto Link metal tenor sax mouthpieces will be machined by Theo Wanne. Theo’s team starts with bar stock brass and machines the mouthpiece from that solid bar stock – no more two piece cores being brazed together. The chamber, table, rails, facing and baffle are all done in this machining process.
After the machining is done, the mouthpieces are then sent to the Babbitt team – who have all been trained by Theo and his team for a new exacting standard – for final buffing, cleanup of machining work and hand-finishing before plating (gold over rhodium). This keeps the Link a hand-finished piece but with all the precision of Theo’s machining expertise still in play – and best of all – they play!
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.

Trial & Return
Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on all in stock mouthpieces. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).
In order to protect the mouthpiece against scratches & marks when testing, we install a tooth patch before shipping. You are responsible for the condition of the mouthpiece while you are testing it. We highly recommend testing with a fabric style ligature to reduce the risk of scratching. Mouthpieces that are returned with irreparable scratches/marks might not be accepted for return.
