Product ID: LinkEB8AltoRS
This is a clean and straight Otto Link “Early Babbitt” era metal mouthpiece for the alto sax. Made on the existing Florida molds just after the plant moved away from Pompano Beach, these Early Babbitt pieces are very much like a Florida Super Tone Master. It is stamped an 8 (large font) and measures a hefty .098”. The facing looks to have been only mildly touched up but no hard reface, and has a clean factory-like look to it. There's a teeth indent across the original black bite plate but only mild finish wear around the body of the mouthpiece. Plays with a warm, full sound that carries well. This piece does come with a newer Link ligature and cap set, as seen in the photos.
