Here's a 1930s Otto Link NY "Master Link" alto saxophone mouthpiece.
This came in the case with a Selmer Mark VII I bought. These are the earliest of Otto Link's mouthpieces and feature an open chamber design. They sound pretty big and dark! This one unfortunately had been badly refaced by someone, the table was so off that it was barely playable. I sent it out to my friend Peter Deley in Portland who is a mouthpiece person, he was able to get the table and facing back to where it should be more or less (it was a hard job!). In the end it was a lovely sounding mouthpiece that now has a new happy home in NY.
