ARBEX (W) 5*. White plastic with black bite plate. Very easy to play.

ARBEX (W) 6* S. White with black bite plate. Easy altissimo.
Previous owner has filed a little in the baffle, which may be the
reason for the rather

epoxy. Has probably also been opened up, but blows without problems. |

Great Neck #3 Serial 60881. Very good condition except for a crack in
the shaft, which has been banded by Erik Greiffenhagen. Table, tip and
rails are perfect. Good player with that typical mellow Tonalin-sound,
but also has some edge |
| Brilhart | Plastic | .080" |
135€ | Tonalin
#3* s/n 33674 Made in England. The Brilharts made in England are
slightly longer than their American counterparts, but play the same.
This one has the characteristic soft sound with some edge. Most UK
pieces have a factory installed band round the shank but some, like
this one, do not. It has no crack and sits more loosely on the neck
than normal. The bite plate has been expertly replaced. Otherwise minty
condition. |

"Laser

New York Slant Signature s/n 8569 Tip opening "4" on table. This is the
first
hard rubber model
made by Otto Link. Like the Tone Master it has a very large chamber.
Can take a lot of air. Quiet, dark and mellow sound which opens up when
you push it. (It is not the famous Slant signature from Florida, but if
you know how to blow it, it has just as good a sound at a much lower
price.) Reduced price |

Vintage Master Link, Tip 4, s/n BB 55.
No ridge on top. No ligature or cap. A Rovner (soprano L3) can be used

mouthpiece for you. Play with a #4 reed. |

Modern Tone Master "New Vintage" 7* s/n 2110 With ligature and cap. Model made for the same reason as mentioned below. Easy to play with a velvet like tone.

Edge "New Vintage Slant" 7* s/n 0180. This is the Babbitt Co. attempt
to recreate the old and very expensive "slant signature"
pieces. It does not sound like the slants I have tried, but it plays a
lot better than standard modern HR Links. It is actually great fun to
play. Can take a lot of air, and has a nice edge to the tone. |

This is not one of these, even if the tip is a little rounder than a
standard reed tip. No influence on playability. Only play-tested. No
ligature or cap, but original box. |

Vintage Early Babbitt "Super" Tone Master 8 USA. No lig or cap. Bite plate replaced and mpc silver plated at I.K. Gottfried Copenhagen. The early Babbitt's are just as desirable as the Florida models. This is the real deal, having the sound you look for in an Otto Link. Huge chamber. |

€195 |
Super Tone "Made in Denmark"
Master Link copy. No tip size marking. Silver plated. Plays very well
with a singing tone. Like the Master Link, it requires lots of air due
to the large chamber and absence of a baffle. These are unbelievably
rare. Very few were made before Otto Stampe moved to the USA and
started a new career. I guess you could get a Webster sound on this.
Not for beginners. |

Gregory |
HR |
.070" |
€190 |
Model A, 4A 18 s/n 4308. Don't think that, because this is the tenor version of the alto mouthpiece Paul Desmond played, you will sound like Desmond on tenor, because a tenor Gregory is a different animal than an alto. But it is still one hell of a mouthpiece. With a Rico Jazz Select 4M it has the edge of a Slant Signature Florida Link but a warmer and fuller core without the tubbiness. |

House Blend 7 HR Composite, Marked P Only playtested. This is Erik Greiffenhagen's own creation. It is a very easy-to-play mouthpiece and exceptional in that it can take a massive amount of air, while you can also subtone softly. Read more at Mouthpiece Café. It has an edge to the sound like a good Berg Larsen, think King Curtis. |

95€ | This
is the first SR-model from 1945.
Aluminium ring round shaft and tip opening 8 on the side. Rectangular
window (like a clarinet) and a mini-baffle, actually just an
edge. Very easy to play, fat bottom and thick in the the top . Comes
with generic cap and original ligature. King Zephyr and Super 20 players watch out. When I tried this mpc on my 1943 Zephyr, it felt like it was constructed for that horn. I am still tempted to keep it. Heavy bite marks repaired. |

Yanagisawa mouthpiece tip "7"

this one surprised me. I have never sounded so much like Stan Getz on
any
other mouthpiece. If I only could get used to
metal mouthpieces, I would keep it for myself. |
